To study the biology, ecology and immunology of parasites.

To provide suitable methods for prevention and control of parasitic diseases.

To assess environmental pollution caused by parasitic pathogen and their impact to animals and human being.

 

Activities:

500 trematode, 170 cestode, 450 nematode, 70 acanthocephalan, 100 monogenoid, 90 copepod and 50 other ecto-parasite species has been recorded.

Many researches on biology, ecology and life cycle of deleterious parasites such as: Fasciola spp.; Clonorchis sinensis; Paragonimus spp.; Fasciolopsis buski; Haplochis spp., Heterophyes heterophyes; Taenia spp.; Angiostrongylus cantonensis have been carried out, and preventive measures proposed.

Up to now we have published more than 150 articles in National Journals, 50 articles in International Journals and 12 monographs.
