Department of Parasitology

Parasitology

What this department covers

The internal and external parasites that cost this region most.

• Helminths, protozoa and arthropod parasites
• Diagnosis of parasitic infection in livestock and poultry
• Control and treatment strategies for farms
• Parasites of companion and wild animals

Teaching here is tied to the university's working facilities — the veterinary teaching hospital, the Central Diagnostic Laboratory and six livestock teaching and research centres — so students meet real cases and real production records rather than worked examples.
