Our Profile
Parasitology was and is a central component of veterinary medicine. Both the education about and the fight against parasitoses and zoonoses play an important role. The Institute of Parasitology fulfils this task by training students, diagnosing parasitic diseases and carrying out various research projects. As a member of the Centre for Infectious Medicine, we also strive to realise interdisciplinary research projects.
Teaching in parasitology:
Students are familiarised with the basics of parasitology and the relevant parasitoses. The basis is the lecture Parasitology, which is accompanied by a course in which the students get to know the most important parasites and their detection methods on real objects. The basics are deepened and consolidated through various focus events. In order to establish a practical relevance, the students are presented with a disease course in so-called tracks, the cause of which they then have to determine using samples provided (faeces, blood).
Diagnostics in parasitology:
With the diagnosis of parasites, the institute assumes a central task within the faculty. Every year, several thousand internal and external samples are examined here for parasites.
Science:
The Institute of Parasitology conducts both basic and applied research, primarily in the field of coccidia. In addition to parasite-host interaction, the institute focuses on epidemiology and replacement methods for animal experiments.
