Parasitology

"Parasitology is the study of parasites, their hosts, and the relationship between them. It encompasses various disciplines such as biology, ecology, and medicine to understand the behavior, evolution, and impact of parasites on their hosts and ecosystems. Parasitologists investigate the diversity of parasites, their life cycles, transmission methods, and the development of strategies to control and prevent parasitic infections. - wikipedia"
