Intro to Veterinary Parasites

Before you can understand the vast world of parasites, you must first understand the basics. This test is taken from our intro test, but also rearranged- best of luck!

So there is a whole lot of junk one must go though to create a test on this site..... I hope it is helpful to anyone taking it on your parasite knowledge!
