What is Parasitology?

Parasitology is the branch of laboratory medicine that studies parasites, their hosts, and the diseases they cause. In medical practice, it focuses on identifying organisms such as protozoa, helminths, and certain disease-carrying arthropods that can impact human health.

This specialty plays an important role in diagnosing infections such as malaria, giardiasis, amoebiasis, helminthic infections, and other parasitic diseases. It also helps clinicians understand host-parasite interactions and choose the most appropriate management pathway.
