Our experienced parasitologists are able to identify adult and immature helminth parasites from both common and exotic hosts and we have many years experience in the identification of ticks, mites, fleas, lice and fleas.  We will identify different life stages of gross endo and ectoparasites, in addition to those in tissue samples and blood smears, detailing the genus and species and giving a brief outline of the possible source of infection where applicable.

Other parasitological investigations, such as detection of soil contamination may also be possible- please contact us for further details.
