Designed to provide basic information about parasites causing disease in animals and people. Covers information on parasite morphology (fundamental to taxonomy); host range (species specificity); site of infection (tissue/organ tropism); parasite pathogenicity (disease potential); modes of transmission (spread of infections); differential diagnosis (detection of infections); and treatment and control (cure and prevention).

A suite of three products developed for the management of blowflies, worms and lice.

A resource designed to enhance the learning experience of students studying parasitology, by providing a visual guide to assist with the identification of major insect, arachnid, helminth and protozoan parasites affecting both small and large animals, as well as diagnostic tools commonly used in practice and research.​
