Welcome
The Diagnostic Parasitology Laboratory is a modern well equipped laboratory located in the Department of Infectious and Tropical Diseases here at the LSHTM. For over 30 years it has offered a first class and rapid national reference service to NHS and private hospitals, private clinical laboratories, general practitioners and related healthcare bodies, for the laboratory identification of human parasites from all types of clinical specimens. It is also linked with the PHLS Malaria Reference Laboratory (http://www.malaria-reference.co.uk) also located in the department. See also pictures of some of the parasites found in humans and animals.
For details about the structure, staffing and tests carried out by the laboratory you can view the online verison of the User Handbook, which also gives you access to a downloadable word version.
