Parasitological examination

The Parasitological Unit at the Veterinary Laboratory (VL) in Surkhet plays a crucial role in monitoring and managing parasitic infections in animals by analyzing fecal samples to estimate parasitic burdens. This unit employs several diagnostic methods to detect nematodes, trematodes, and cestodes, which are responsible for various diseases in livestock and poultry. By identifying the specific types and levels of parasitic infections, the unit provides valuable data for effective disease management and prevention strategies.
