Medical Nematology is a branch of medicine that focuses on the study of nematodes, which are a type of roundworm. These organisms can be parasites that infect humans and animals, leading to various health issues. Understanding their biology and life cycle is crucial for diagnosing and treating infections caused by these parasites. Researchers in medical nematology work to identify different species of nematodes and their effects on human health. They also explore methods for prevention and treatment, including medications and public health strategies, to reduce the impact of these parasites on communities worldwide.
