 Parasitology - definition of Parasitology in Encyclopedia
As a biological discipline, the scope of parasitology is not determined by the organism or environment in question, but by their way of life.
Medical parasitology can involve drug development, epidimiological studies and study of zoonoses.
One of the largest fields in parasitology, medical parasitology is the study of those parasites which infect humans.

 the American Society of Parasitologists - Careers
Parasitology represents a great career for intelligent young people with inquisitive minds, and research opportunities are virtually unlimited.
The American Society of Parasitologists extends an invitation to those young scholars contemplating careers in parasitology because of their desire to improve the human condition, as well as to those individuals who seek careers in parasitology because of an abiding scientific curiosity.
Because parasitology is such a broad and diverse field, a variety of career options are available.

 Parasitology syllabus - 2003
Parasitology is a course intended for Biology or other majors who are interested in the health professions, graduate or veterinary school, or who want to study the major groups of animal parasites affecting humans, domestic animals, and wildlife.
Much of what we do will center around four questions concerning the host-parasite relationship: 1) Where, how and under what circumstances does a host become infected?
I have personal copies of the International Journal for Parasitology which may contain information of value to your topic.

 ARC/NHMRC Network for Parasitology
The result was a decision to formulate a bid for an Australian Research Council and National Health and Medical Research Council (ARC/NHMRC) Research Network for Parasitology to enhance and focus Australia's research effort in parasitology.
A truly national approach to parasitology, the meeting concluded, would make Australia truly an international competitor in research and the development of methods to eradicate animal and human diseases caused by parasites.
They concluded that –while our research is world class and in many areas such as malaria is leading the world –Australian parasitology research is relatively fragmented because of the distances separating the large number of institutions and laboratories carrying out parasitological research.

 General Parasitology
Parasitism is carried out by many organisms, the main groups including viruses, bacteria, protozoa (these usually being endoparasitic), and various metazoan groups (multicellular eukaryotic animals), these being mostly groups of helminths (often endoparasitic), and arthropods (usually ectoparasitic), as well as some higher organisms, such as ectoparasitic lampreys and hagfish.
Organisms in these associations may either be on the outer surface of the host organism, (in which case the prefix Ecto- is used), or inside the host organism, (in which case the prefix Endo- is used).
Generally however, for partly historical reasons, the term parasitology generally only refers to the study of infection with eukaryotic protozoan, and invertebrate metazoan parasites, not bacteria, viruses or the higher chordate parasites, even though these are parasites in the true sense.
