This is a timeline of parasitology, attempting to focus on human parasitology.

Big picture

Time period Development summary
Prehistory Since the emergence of Homo sapiens in eastern Africa, humans spread throughout the world, possibly in several waves, migrating to and inhabiting virtually the whole of the face of the Earth, bringing some parasites with them and collecting others on the way.[1] During the First Agricultural Revolution, from hunting and gathering to settled agriculture, humans acquire parasites from animals with which they come in contact during agricultural practices.[1]
Ancient history Many detailed descriptions of various diseases that might or might not be caused by parasites, specifically fevers, are found in the writings of Greek physicians between 800 to 300 BC, such as the Corpus Hippocratorum by Hippocrates, and from physicians from other civilizations including China from 3000 to 300 BC, India from 2500 to 200 BC, Rome from 700 BC to 400 AD, and the Arab Empire in the latter part of the first millennium. The descriptions of infections become more accurate and Arabic physicians, particularly Rhazes (AD 850 to 923) and Avicenna (AD 980 to 1037), write important medical works that contain a great deal of information about diseases clearly caused by parasites.[1]
Middle Ages The medical literature is very limited during this time, but there are many references to parasitic worms. In some cases, they are recognized as the possible causes of disease but in general, the writings of the period reflect the culture, beliefs, and ignorance of the time.[1]
Modern history Beginning at around 1500, The slave trade, which would flourish for three and a half centuries from about 1500, bring new parasites to the New World from the Old World.[1] The first definitive reports of lymphatic filariasis begin to appear in the 16th century.[1] In the 17th and 18th centuries, the science of helminthology develops, following the reemergence of science and scholarship during the Renaissance period.[1] By the beginning of the 17th century, it becomes apparent that there are two very different kinds of tapeworm (broad and taeniid) in humans. The scientific study of the taeniid tapeworms of humans can be traced to the late 17th century.[1] Modern parasitology develops in the 19th century with accurate observations by several researchers and clinicians.
Present time Currently, known parasites infecting humans has now increased to about 300 species.[1]
