    • Damilola,

      Immunology is a branch of medicine and biology that covers the medical study of immune systems in humans, animals, plants and sapient species.

      In such we can see there is a difference of human immunology and comparative immunology in veterinary medicine and animal biosciences.

      Microbiology is the scientific study of microorganisms, those being unicellular, multicellular, or acellular. Microbiology encompasses numerous sub-disciplines including virology, bacteriology, protistology, mycology, immunology, and parasitology.

    • Medical laboratory science is the use of clinical laboratory tests to detect, diagnose, monitor and treat disease. Blood, tissue and body fluids can be chemically analyzed and examined for foreign organisms and abnormalities.
