Parasitology is the study of three major groups of animals: parasitic protozoa, parasitic helminths or worms, and those arthropods that directly cause disease or act as vectors of various pathogens. As a biological discipline, the scope of parasitology is not determined by the organism or environment , but by their way of life. This means it forms a synthesis of other disciplines, and draws on techniques from fields such as cellbiology,bioinformatics, genetics and ecology.
