Veterinary Parasitology Lab Demonstrations

In each Parasitology lab, the teaching staff will put out numerous displays of the parasites which you are required to know. Next to each display is a card that explains the display. Photocopies of all these cards are available in the library. In the past, students would make a photocopy and then use it to make notes on as they progressed through each lab station. The only problem was that some of the twice photocopied cards were of poor quality. Therefore, we have made the contents of these cards available on this web site.

Just click on the lab of interest below to view or print. Please be patient as document downloads: it may take 30 to 90 seconds with a modem connection as these pages are quite long.

Note: Answers to review questions are not provided on this site. You can get the answers in lab.
