Continuous Assessment 3 (Weightage 60%)
Parasitology is the study of the interaction between parasites and their hosts. In general,
parasitologists tend to concentrate on eukaryotic parasites, such as lice, mites, protozoa and
worms, with prokaryotic parasites and other infectious agents the focus of fields such as
bacteriology, microbiology and virology. Parasites are extremely common, and are responsible
for some of the world's most deadly illnesses, from dysentery and diarrhoea to malaria.
It studies the diverse organisms means that the subject is frequently broken down into simpler,
more focused units that use common techniques, even if they are not studying the same
organisms or diseases. Much parasitological research falls somewhere between two or more of
these definitions. In general, the study of prokaryotes falls under the umbrella of bacteriology
rather than parasitology.
2 Field surveys like (traps, canopy fogging and visual surveys) insect collecting kits,
microscopes for examine the parasite wasp, soil sampling equipment, GPS devices
are also used in this paper

Parasite databases encompass a collection of comprehensive information pertaining
to diverse parasite species, hence facilitating the endeavors of researchers in the
identification and classification of parasites. Two notable examples of databases in
the field of biodiversity and genomics are the Global Biodiversity Information
Facility (GBIF) and the Parasite Genomic Database (ParaSite).

Parasitology- for data collection and research process they used the
allozyme technique (analysing the differences in enzyme structure
between organisms) and for the analyses of publication trends on
parasitic organisms they use all parasite related publication from each
molecular period.

RDTs and PCR test is also used to treatment of malaria, mosquito
traps, larva surveys, clinical trials, GIS software, and satellite imagery
(study the spatial distribution of malarial cases), statistical software for
data analyses and modelling.
10 Phylogenetic visualization tools, such as FigTree and iTOL, are employed in the
production of visual depictions of phylogenetic trees intended for scholarly
dissemination and professional discourse.
