Department of Parasitology was established in 1923 with the aim to generate and disseminate scientific knowledge relating to Parasitology. The department is striving to create awareness among the public about the risks and losses associated with parasites. The department is playing key role in this regard through education and research. Post graduate programme was started in 1978 and so for more than 200 students have completed their M.Sc. (Hons), M. Phil and 21 PhD degrees. Graduates of this department are serving in various national and international organizations. Currently about 50 students are pursuing their post-graduate studies. Department has undergraduate and post graduate laboratories. In future, the department intends to establish advanced Parasitology laboratories in the field of immunoparasitology, molecular Parasitology and parasitic vaccines. The department is engaged in basic & applied research for better understanding of parasitic problems of various hosts and their control.
Objectives
Teaching of D.V.M., M. Phil and PhD students in Parasitology.
Conduction of problem oriented basic and applied research with the involvement of post-graduate students.
Creation of awareness about parasites and their control.
Provision of diagnostic and identification services to the farmers and pet owners.
Training of stakeholders and para-veterinary staff through short courses and workshops.
