Parasitology
Parasitology can be defined as the study of parasites and their hosts, as well as the interactions between the two. Parasites are a crucial part of a functional and healthy ecosystem, particularly within the natural environment. The biodiversity of an ecosystem is profoundly impacted by parasite diversity with parasites influencing aspects…http://natural-sciences.nwu.ac.za/water-research-group/ecotoxicology
Ecotoxicology
Ecotoxicology is a scientific discipline which studies the effects of stressors on biological organisms. It integrates toxicology and ecology, predicting the effects of stressors across all levels of biological organisation from molecular level to whole communities and ecosystems.
