What is a parasitology?

Dear Sabiha, Parasitology is a dynamic field because the relationships between parasites and their hosts constantly are changing. Parasitism comprises an ecological relationship between two individuals of different species where the parasite’s environment is another living organism. Unlike the environment of free-living plants and animals, the environment of the parasite can fight back. Parasites and hosts are locked into a continuous struggle for survival, and understanding the mechanisms that each side in this battle use to gain advantage challenges parasitologists to understand biological phenomena at the cutting edge of a wide variety of scientific disciplines. As a result, parasitologists contribute significantly to our basic understanding of the way our biological world functions. If you have any further query please feel free to post here. All the best.
