| Description | Systematic parasitology studies diversity and its origin. It includes mainly collection, naming, classification and describing of different species of parasites as well as a reconstruction of their evolutionary history. SEM is very important method in study and describing new species or redescribing insufficiently described species of parasites, because it empower opportunities for more detailed studies of their outer morphology. This method was applied in our research mainly for study of several species of parasitic roundworm (Nematoda) and one species of spiny headed worm (Acanthocephala). Our second topic concerning with SEM in parasitology is orangutan self-medication by plants with mechanical influence. However this method condemns parasite samples for destroying and do not allow other using of it. |
