Parasitology & Infectious Diseases

Parasitology is the study of parasites and their hosts, as well as their interactions. In biological terms, the breadth of parasitology is governed by the way they exist rather than the organism or environment. Parasites reduce host fitness by general or specific disease, and they also influence the human body in a variety of ways, including through the oral route, skin, arthropod vectors, and sexual interaction. Several laboratory techniques, such as imaging techniques and endoscopy, are used to diagnose parasite infections
