              Abstract 
 
              Parasitic infections adversely affect animal’s health and threaten 
              profitable animal production, thus affecting the economy of our 
              country. These infections also play a major role in the spread of 
              zoonotic diseases. Parasitic infections cause severe morbidity and 
              mortality in animals especially those affecting the 
              gastrointestinal system and thus affect the economy of livestock 
              owner by decreasing the ability of the farmer to produce 
              economically useful animal products. Due to all these reasons 
              proper control of parasitic infection is critically important for 
              sustained animal production. The most common and regularly used 
              method to control parasitic infection is chemotherapy, which is 
              very effective but has several disadvantages like drug resistance 
              and drug residues. Integrated approaches to control parasitic 
              infections should be formulated including grazing management, 
              biological control, genetic resistance of hosts, and parasitic 
              vaccines. India ranks first in cattle and buffalo population, but 
              the majority of livestock owners have fewer herds, so other 
              measures like grazing management, biological control, genetic 
              resistance of hosts are not much practical to use. The most 
              sustainable and economical approach to control parasitic infection 
              in our country is to vaccinate animals, although vaccines increase 
              the initial cost, but the immunity offered by the vaccine are long 
              lived. Thus, vaccination of animals for various clinical, chronic, 
              subclinical parasitic infections will be a cheaper and effective 
              alternative to control parasitic infection for long time and 
              improve animal production.  
              Keywords: drug resistance, integrated 
              control measures, parasitic infections, parasitic vaccines.
