Diagnostic parasitology

The Diagnostic Parasitology section is responsible for the detection and identification of external and internal parasites from diverse animal hosts, across all domestic and wild animal species.

We receive variety of materials and specimens, including faecal samples, aspirates, skin scrapings, sticky tapes as well as presumed parasites for identification.

We use traditional processing methods as well as immunological assays for increased sensitivity and specificity.  
  
The laboratory’s responsibilities are processing and analysing of the received samples, and reporting results based on routine methods.

On demand, the laboratory develops new methods or adopts existing methods based on the client requirements. Under these circumstances we will conduct quality control to assure quality results.
