The changes taking place within the societies, cultures and the environments in which we live Lire massive and complex. By referring to simple epidemiological models it is possible to build an objective framework with which to look at these changes in terms of their likely impact on the epidemiology of parasitic diseases within human communities. These parameters are listed for hosts and both micro- and macroparasites, as are epidemiologically significant cultural. social and environmental variables. Changes in these variables may be either detrimental or beneficial to human health and may, in addition, interact in complex ways. Examples of the complexity of changes which can influence epidemiology are provided for a cultural template of the population living in the north-east of Thailand.
