The eco-friendly way of coping with over-population of parasites or any species, is to introduce natural predators to keep them under control: wolves to keep deer populations down, ladybirds for greenfly; lobsters for sea-urchins etc.

What if something similar had to happen to humans?

I'm sure there's a short story idea in there somewhere...
