Epidemiological surveys of livestock parasites, including Babesia, Theileria, Trypanosoma, Toxoplasma, Neospora and Fasciola species, were conducted in Myanmar. The results revealed new insights of distribution, life cycle and evolution of these parasites. On the other hand, isolation and characterization of antitrypanosomal compounds from Myanmar medicinal plants was performed to utilize natural plant products for treatment and prophylaxis of parasitic disease. Results of this study will contribute to establishment of control strategies of parasitic diseases and development of animal husbandry in Myanmar.
