It is the study of association between parasites and animal hosts. Veterinary parasitologists care for domesticated animals used for food and work; they also care for companion animals. Veterinarians play an indirect role in human health when they control parasites in nonhuman animals that are transmissible to humans.

Here we consider parasites of domestic and wildlife animals. Scientists study the genesis and development of parasitoses in animal hosts, as well as the taxonomy and systematics of parasites. Parasites are responsible for major economic losses in food–producing animals.

Data obtained from parasitological research in animals helps in veterinary practice and improves animal breeding. The major goal of veterinary parasitology is to protect animals and improve their health and also important for public health.
