I was not blaming anyone. I was simply stating a biological fact. Any
movement of organisms, whether legal or illegal, eventually results is the
movement of their parasites.
The less movement of organisms across oceans, the less movement of the
associated parasites.
The view that we will eventually spread all parasites to all continents is
fatalistic, but is supported by history.
My point is that we don't need to accelerate the process.
