Parasitology is the scientific study of parasites, organisms that live in or on another organism (host) and derive nutrients at the host's expense. It encompasses a broad range of organisms, including protozoa, helminths (worms), and arthropods, each with distinct life cycles and adaptations to parasitic lifestyles. Parasitologists investigate the morphology, physiology, ecology, and evolution of parasites, aiming to understand their biology and the interactions with their hosts. This field is vital for elucidating the complex dynamics of parasitic infections and developing strategies for control and prevention. Research in parasitology contributes to advancements in diagnostics, treatments, and vaccines for parasitic diseases that impact human health, agriculture, and ecosystems. Notable examples include malaria, schistosomiasis, and various veterinary parasitoses. Technological advances, such as molecular tools and imaging techniques, have revolutionized parasitology, allowing for more accurate identification of parasites and deeper insights into their biology. Parasitologists collaborate across disciplines to address the global challenges posed by parasitic infections and contribute to the improvement of public health and agricultural practices.
