Full Description
This book serves as a hands-on guide to foundational laboratory techniques in veterinary parasitology and molecular biology, specifically tailored for students, interns, and early-career researchers entering lab-based veterinary diagnostics. Divided into three focused chapters, the book begins with essential laboratory practices, including correct lab conduct, familiarization with basic lab equipment, and the preparation of core reagents and solutions necessary for routine experiments.
The second chapter introduces key techniques in veterinary parasitology, such as proper sample collection and preservation, blood and fecal parasite detection, and the basics of serum biochemistry and immunodiagnostic assays. The third chapter provides a sequential understanding of molecular biology procedures relevant to parasitology researchranging from DNA extraction and primer design to PCR amplification and sequence analysis.
In addition to theoretical instruction, the manual includes a practical appendix for equipment care, troubleshooting, and routine maintenanceensuring efficiency and accuracy in day-to-day laboratory operations. This concise and structured resource supports skill development and diagnostic competence in modern parasitological and molecular veterinary laboratories.
