Introduction to Parasitology Course
About Sue…
I’m a published Veterinary Parasitologist, with peer reviewed research on camelid gut parasites, their interactions and treatments. Camelid research projects were conducted over a six year period at the University of Bristol (MSc) and PhD research at the Royal Veterinary College (London).
Before specialising in parasitology, I began my career teaching Biology and Chemistry in schools across the UK — helping students of all ages discover the excitement of science.
For over 20 years, I’ve been teaching parasitology techniques 'face-to-face' in the lab, working with alpaca owners, wildlife farm managers, vets, vet technicians, and students from age 16 to 75 and beyond.
My approach is friendly, practical, and rooted in the joy of science and learning. Drawing on two decades of hands-on alpaca farming experience, I'm passionate about helping owners and professionals turn complex parasitology into clear, confident practice — using evidence and analysis, rather than guesswork.
Learning about alpaca parasites will improve your husbandry…
The knowledge gained from the Course will change the way you view your herd, the way you respond to external factors such as the weather and how you feed your herd. Take a look at the testimonials from camelid keepers who have already participated in learning more…
