 **Welcome to the Animal Parasitic Disease Laboratory's Homepage** The mission of the Animal Parasitic Diseases Laboratory is to reduce the economic cost of parasitism in livestock and poultry and to reduce the risk of transmission of parasite zoonoses to humans. Emphasis is placed on developing integrated control programs for important parasitic diseases. Research includes basic and applied studies on: Mechanisms of parasite transmission, the infection process, parasite development and host-parasite interactionsThe development of novel methods for parasite control, such as parasite vaccines and non-chemical anti-parasiticsThe diagnosis and control of livestock parasites transmissible to humans.      **For more information on the diseases we study and our research approaches, click on the following links.** NeosporosisToxoplasmosisCoccidiosisTrichinellosisEPM/Sarcocystis neuronaMolecular Systematics   **Dr. Benjamin Rosenthal, Research Leader** Building 1040, Room 103 Beltsville Agricultural Research CenterUnited States Department of AgricultureAgricultural Research Service10300 Baltimore AvenueBeltsville, Maryland 20705-2350 (301) 504-5408 **Office** (301) 504-8979 **Fax**
