Description of basic activities in the department
The Department of Bacteriology and Parasitology undertakes essential tasks related to testing for the presence, isolation, identification, and typing of pathogenic bacteria, fungi, and parasites. This encompasses materials sourced from both domestic and wild animals, as well as animal-derived food products and environmental samples. Additionally, the department conducts antimicrobial sensitivity tests for various antimicrobial substances and disinfectants.
In its operations, the Department of Bacteriology and Parasitology employs a combination of modern molecular techniques alongside traditional microbiological and parasitological methods. Furthermore, it produces biological preparations specifically designed for active immunization of animals to meet the requirements of primary agricultural production.
Department Activities:
- Isolation and identification of microorganisms.
- Assessment of antimicrobial sensitivity of microorganisms.
- Molecular diagnosis of bacterial, fungal, and parasitic diseases.
- Typing of microorganisms.
- Production of inactivated biological preparations.
- Diagnosis of bee diseases.
- Detection and identification of parasites in domestic and wild animals, food samples of animal origin, and environmental samples.
- Identification of species of arthropod vectors.
- List of methods:
The Department of Bacteriology and Parasitology performs a range of examinations on animal samples, including bacteriological, mycological, and parasitological analyses. These examinations cover samples from various animal species such as dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, parrots, pigs, cattle, sheep, goats, poultry, laboratory animals, and other species.
