Abstract：
Parasitism is inherent to life and observed in all species. Extinct animals have been studied to understand what they looked like, where and how they lived, what they fed on, and the reasons they became extinct. Paleoparasitology helps to clarify these questions based on the study of the parasites and microorganisms that infected those animals, using as a source material coprolites, fossils in rock, tissue, bone, mummy, and amber, analyses of ancient DNA, immunodiagnosis, and microscopy.
摘要：
寄生是生命固有的，在所有物种中都能观察到。已经对灭绝的动物进行了研究，以了解它们的外观，他们在哪里以及如何生活，他们吃了什么，以及它们灭绝的原因。古寄生虫学有助于根据对感染这些动物的寄生虫和微生物的研究来澄清这些问题，使用coprolites作为源材料，岩石中的化石，组织,骨头,木乃伊,琥珀色,古代DNA的分析，免疫诊断,和显微镜。
