Image/ Content Copyright Note:Image/ Content Copyright Note: Parasitology.com is always on the lookout for royalty free images of parasites and the science of parasitology for use on our webpages. We often search the internet as a source. When we find something we'd like to use, we make a concerted effort to contact the person or organization we deem to be the legal owner and ask them for their permissions and good will.
On other occasions, we copy an article and/ or image directly from a magazine- and then link that magazine and give them and any related photographers or writers 100% credit, in the hopes that they will be ok with this arrangement.
In the spirit of shared knowledge about parasitology and internet honesty regarding copyright infringement, we make the statement here and now that our intentions are true in simply asking for permission to use the image and/ or content of the owners.
If anybody recognizes their own images or words here, and wants us to remove them, please contact us and tell us what you want us to do. We are not interested in infringing on anybody's copyrights and more than happy to create mutually beneficial arrangements with any said owner.
Please contact us if you have any concerns or comments about any images or content used on this site, or if you can help us with sourcing some good new ones.
1) WE DON'T PICK THEM, Google does! (supposedly by matching our page content with complimentary "targeted ads".)
In most cases, the system yields GOOD WEBSITES and/or GOOD BUSINESSES (ones we approve of), but occasionally a freaky rogue imposter (think: parasite) will sneak in for a while, much to our chagrin... Our apologies to your mindset if you happen to see any ads for "bad" companies. (note: in this website's case, a "bad" company usually being defined as one that harks some kind of bogus parasite de-ridding product.)
Anyways, we can say with sincerity that most ads we have observed on our pages are for legitimate companies or organizations involved in expounding knowledge about parasites or trying to help people find ways to outsmart and/or rid themselves or a loved one of them...
2) That said, we ask that you not be afraid to CLICK ON THEM. They are nothing to be feared, as they are only websites after all- and often the payoff for doing so is well worth it... They also help us to pay the bills, so CLICK AWAY... and thanks for understanding.
Parasitology.com is an amatuer science site not meant to diagnose or treat any disease or condition related to parasites, and as such, is not responsible for anything the information on its pages may compel you to do... We get our information from a variety of sources and do the best we can with what we have. We are honest and sincere with our intentions, so please show us the same respect we show you... (Not to mention that if you try and sue us you won't get far because we don't have any money...)
