Education Undergraduate course: The range of disciplines represented at the Medical Zoology Department is very broad and inter-disciplinary research is a feature of much of our activities. There is a spectrum of diseases that could be studied and a wide range of major topics you could choose from which include: Protozoology, Helminthology, Medical Entomology, Vecto-borne Nosography and Poisonous Zoology. We have close interaction with scientists in different research teams of Tropical Medicine, International Health Care, Preventive Medicine and Public Health not only in the Division of Public Health of the Tokyo Medical and Dental University but are also in collaboration with scientists in other Universities across Japan. We have been inviting specialty lecturers from the Institute of Tropical Medicine, Nagasaki University and Jikei University from time to time. The Section also has strong overseas links that provide a channel for field studies as well as international collaborations in developed and developing countries.

From international perspective our eventual goal is to establish and disseminate knowledge on environmental health care based on Parasitology and deepen our relationship with developing countries.
