Parasitic illnesses continue to be a major problem worldwide, with consequences for human and environmental health. There is a need for interdisciplinary work at the intersection of public health and ecology due to the complex relationships between host immunity, parasite evolution, and ecosystem stability. Disease prevention, wildlife conservation, and ecological resilience can all be improved by a deeper understanding of these interconnections. In the context of parasitic eco-immunological concerns, the complex interplay between public health and ecological dynamics is becoming increasingly apparent. The complexity of parasite eco-immunological threats raises a number of difficulties. Parasites provide a variety of challenges due to their complex life cycles, unpredictable interactions with hosts, and the potential for widespread ripple effects across ecosystems. Agent-Based Immunological Simulation Analysis (A-ISA) is offered as a comprehensive method that integrates immunological studies, ecological simulations, and empirical findings. Combining dynamic ecological models (DEM) that replicate the spread of parasites among populations and ecosystems with advance omics technology to decipher host immune responses constitutes the method. This A-ISA method takes into account the larger ecological setting to provide a more complete picture of the feedback loops between host immunity and parasite adaptation. Within this context, simulation analysis emerges as a crucial tool, providing the means to simulate complicated events and evaluate the likely results of alternative intervention options. With the use of simulation analysis, the proposed integrative method provides an all-encompassing approach to these problems, opening the door to the creation of preventative measures for disease control and ecological sustainability in a dynamic society
