Abstract(s)

Infections with parasitic helminths (IPH) have a huge economic, social, environmental and political negative impacts in global ruminant livestock industry in Europe in particular and across the world in general. The increasing prevalence of anthelmintic resistance means that current control programmes are in economic terms costly and unsustainable in the long term. So, the sustainable control of IPH requires a holistic approach and requires detailed knowledge of these various impacts and sub-indices of the sustainability of the IPH. Hence, the main aim of this work is to analyses the scientific state of the art of the IPH at a sustainable level whereas the sub-indices of the IPH sustainability. This will be essential to the continued research at IPH sustainability to promote at European level the productivity and profitability of livestock farming and its contribution to regional and global food security at European and world level. Thus, we did a revision of the scientific contributes in the sustainability sub-index of IPH at European and world level (based on SCOPUS Q1 and Q2 references and WoS) and we used Google Trends data as a quantitative methodology, namely, multivariate analysis and econometric models in order to nowcast and forecast new insights about the importance, the role and the new trends about IPH in Europe. The results show an interesting development and an increasing trend in IPH search terms as a proxi of IPH development in research and interest in Europe.
