Veterinary parasitology

Veterinary Parasitology is the study of animal parasites. However, quite a few animal parasites can also be transmitted from animals to humans. These parasites are called zoonotic and diseases transmited from animals to humans are called zoonosis.

The significance of certain parasites differs greatly between various regions.
