Veterinary Entomology

Veterinary entomology is the study of insects and arthropods that affect the health of animals, especially livestock and pets. It focuses on how these pests transmit diseases, cause discomfort, or lead to economic losses. This field helps identify harmful insects like flies, ticks, and fleas, understand their life cycles, and develop ways to control or prevent their impacts. By managing these pests, veterinary entomology supports animal well-being, enhances productivity, and reduces the spread of insect-borne illnesses.
