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.

在灭绝动物中发现的寄生虫回顾：可以揭示的内容

寄生是生命所固有的，并且在所有物种中都可以观察到。已经对灭绝的动物进行了研究，以了解它们的长相，生活在哪里，如何生活，以什么为食，以及灭绝的原因。古寄生虫学以共prolites，岩石，组织，骨骼，木乃伊和琥珀中的化石为原料，对古代DNA，免疫诊断和显微镜进行分析，以此为基础，对寄生虫和感染这些动物的微生物的研究有助于澄清这些问题。
