Disgenics via microbiome manipulation. Literally.

Madagascar hissing cockroach farms and 75

migrating locust farms. Parasites were detected in244 (81.33%) out of 300 (100%) examined insectfarms. In 206 (68.67%) of the cases, the identifiedparasites were pathogenic for insects only; in 106 (35.33%) cases, parasites were potentially parasitic for animals; and in 91 (30.33%) cases, parasites were potentially pathogenic for humans.

Edible insects are an underestimated reservoir of

human and animal parasites. Our research

indicates the important role of these insects in the

epidemiology of parasites pathogenic to

vertebrates. Conducted parasitological

examination suggests that edible insects may be

the most important parasite vector for domestic

insectivorous animals
