What is Parasitology? A parasite is an organism that live on or within another organism called the host Parasitology is a science of studying parasitism and a discipline dealing with the biology of parasites (including its morphology,embryology, physiology,biochemistry and nutrition,etc.), ecology of parasitism with emphasis on parasite- host and parasite-environment interactions

Parasitology is a science of studying parasitism and a discipline dealing with the biology of parasites (including its morphology, embryology, physiology, biochemistry and nutrition, etc.), ecology of parasitism with emphasis on parasite- host and parasite-environment interactions

What is Parasitology? Since the parasites studied in this discipline involve parasitic protozoa,parasitic helminthes,certain lesser groups of worms,parasitic arthropods,and the vectors of parasites,that is,parasitology is largely an amalgamation of protozoology,helminthology, entomology and acarology. Parasitology has also been subdivided into medical or human parasitology,veterinary parasitology,fish parasitology and plant nematology

What is Medical Parasitology? Medical parasitology or human parasitology is restricted to studying those parasites that are living in or on the body of humans and with aspects of the host-parasite relationship having medical significance.In other words,medical parasitology is the subject which deals with the parasites that infect man,the diseases caused by them,clinical picture and the response generated by man against them

Pathogenic Biology In modern biomedicine,medical parasitology and medical microbiology which are integrated into pathogenic biology,are in the same scope of pathogenic organisms. Pathogenic biology which focuses on the biological causes to human infectious diseases (biological etiology),is usually comprised in preventive medicine and is also considered as the foundation of clinical infectious or communicable diseases and public health

Pathogenic Biology Pathogenic biology involves the biological features of pathogenic organisms,the relationships between pathogenic parasites and hosts and their environment, the pathogenic factors and the related pathogenesis,the laboratory diagnosis,the transmission and prevalence, and the prevention and control of these diseases infected with pathogenic organisms. Microbiology---Pathogen (Microbe):viruses,bacteria, and fungi. Parasitology---Pathogen (Parasites):protozoa, helminthes,and arthropods
