Isn’t there a lot of parasitic research at DARPA facilities, for example Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever?

I think Lyme disease is caused by a bacteria rather than parasite (I always assumed the two are different)

Yeah, maybe ticks are the parasite in that scenario

I understand that the question here is why nobody studies parasite biodiversity.

Well, this is a false claim. Sort of. Nobody notices or nobody cares about this researchers, is not the same as nobody studies.
