VET344: Veterinary Parasitology

A unit in applied parasitology that introduces the concept of parasitism and the diversity of parasitic organisms. The life cycles and transmission patterns of the major parasites of domestic animals in Australia are described. The interaction between hosts and parasites, leading to the disease, is covered in detail, as is the treatment of parasitic disease and the development of integrated approaches to parasite control. Special attention is given to the diagnoses of parasitic disease in livestock and companion animals.
