Definition of Parasitology Parasitology is a discipline dealing with the biology of animal parasites, ecology of parasitism with emphasis on parasite--host and parasite--environmental interactions Human parasitology or Medical parasitology is restricted in studying those parasites that are of importance in medicine Protozoology, helminthology and entomology Parasitology is usually in the scope of preventive medicine and the foundation of clinical parasitic diseases
