⃝ Definition:-
It is a branch of biology-Medical science which deals with study of harmful pathogens like viruses, Bacteria, Protozoans, Helminths, and other parasite found in a man.
Medical zoology is a advance branch of multidiscipline, parasitology and microbiology. They are binds together various branches of science.
Medical zoology is a multidiscipline study for zoonotic disease which are caused by the pathogens, that are reservoir wild population animal. but still over (come towards ) into human population.
Study of medical zoology provides diagnostic testing for different zoonotic pathogens and it also diagnoses the probability causes and severity of infection. It helps to treat patient properly.
Arthropods are the living things which are largest number on the earth most of them are directly or indirectly division harmful to human. So there is important division (branch) of medical zoology is medical entomology is establish, because of occurrences of many hematophagus (Blood sucking) Arthropods and non-human vertebrates in the life cycle of different arthropods and viruses.
Study of medical zoology also includes study of physiology, microbiology, immunology, genetics, parasitology, ecology, and bacteriology, etc.
#Branches of Medical Zoology:-
1. Bacteriology:- Study of bacteria.
2. Virology:- Study of viruses causing disease.
3, Immunology:- Study of difference and resistance against any disease.
4. Epidemiology:- Study of epidemics disease.
5. Parasitology:- Study of parasite.
6. Enzymology:- Study of enzyme
7. Hematology:- Study of blood.
8.Cardiology:- Study of heart.
9.Osteology:- Study of bones.
10. Endocrinology:- Study of endocrine gland and Harmons.
➧ Medical protozoology :-
it is a branch of science which deals with study of protozoan parasite of medical important. They shows explain diversity but all protozoans are unicellular and eukaryotic organisms. They posses membrane bound nucleus containing the chromosomes.
some pathogenic protozoan parasite found in human body , They are as bellow.
1. Entamoeba histolatica :-
A parasitic infection It causes dysentery and liver abscess. cause Amoebiasis.
2. giardia intestinalis:-
