Medical Zoology
Outline
The Department of Medical Zoology at 色多多视频 is an education and research division for parasitology (dealing with parasites such as Entamoeba histolytica and Ascaris) and zoology (dealing with animals such as mosquitoes and mites). The department was established in 1973 by Dr. TADA Isao (later Professor Emeritus of Kyushu University), who was the leader of the Onchocerciasis Control Project in Guatemala. Dr. FUJITA Koichiro (later Professor Emeritus of Tokyo Medical and Dental University) and Dr. TANI Shokichi then served as professors in the department. The current faculty have been investigating testing methods for parasitic diseases such as Acanthamoeba keratitis. They also conduct research on Culex tritaeniorhynchus and ixodid ticks, which are vectors of Japanese encephalitis and spotted fever, as well as rodents that carry these diseases.
