Sažetak

Accurate identification of parasitic species and disease diagnostics is a prerequisite for species systematics and treatment of potential diseases. Diagnosis based on analysis of morphological keys is still a fundamental method in parasitology. Despite its reliability, development of molecular methods offers new possibilities in combining these methods with the aim of more accurate diagnostics and avoidance of potential problems caused by variations in sampling and parasite preparation/fixation, the conditions in which carcasses were stored before analysis, etc. Apart from these cases, method combination is highly recommendable in closely related species. Additionally, introduction of proteomics in this field opens new areas in the research of wildlife parasitic diseases, with special emphasis on potential applications in treatment, development
of disease control strategies, and vaccine design.
