Department of Pathology and Parasitology

The Department of a Pathology and Parasitology has started its journey through the establishment of Chittagong Government Veterinary College (CGVC) in 1996. After the conversion of CGVC into Chittagong Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (CVASU) in 2006, it has become an important department under the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine. The Department offers different courses at undergraduate (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine) and Postgraduate level (MSc and PhD). Along with teaching activities, faculties of this department also engaged with research, consultancy and disease diagnosis and other extracurricular activities. At present, there are 11 projects running in this department where 7 MSc and 1 PhD students are working. In 2017-2020, faculties of this department published 53 peer-reviewed publication in different illustrious journals of the world.
