The Parasitology department utilizes light microscopes, specialized centrifuges, and staining equipment. Through flotation, sedimentation, blood smear, specialized staining techniques, and molecular methods (PCR), this unit identifies a broad spectrum of parasitic infections including gastrointestinal helminths (Ascaridia, Heterakis, Capillaria), blood parasites (Plasmodium, Leucocytozoon, Haemoproteus), respiratory parasites, ectoparasites (ticks, mites, lice), intestinal protozoa (Coccidia, Cryptosporidium, Trichomonas, Histomonas), and tissue parasites.
