Parasitology

The study of parasites, their hosts, and their interactions is known as parasitology. The focus of parasitology as a biological field is not on the creature or environment under consideration, but rather on how they live. As a result, it synthesises knowledge from other disciplines and incorporates methods from a variety of scientific disciplines, including cell biology, bioinformatics, biochemistry, molecular biology, immunology, genetics, evolution, and ecology. Even if they are not researching the same creatures or illnesses, the topic is sometimes divided into easier-to-understand, more narrowly focused parts since it involves the study of such a wide variety of organisms. Many studies in parasitology fit under one of these categories or another. Prokaryote research often comes within the category of bacteriology.
