The teaching of parasitology in the winter semester of year 3 addresses key aspects of infection biology of important examples from major taxonomic groups of parasites. We emphasize knowledge of basic parasitological terms and definitions, parasite morphology, life cycles and interaction with hosts. In practical classes, the students will improve their microscopy skills and get experience with the identification of parasites into basic groups.
1) theoretical knowledge The student is able to: - describe the etiology and pathogenesis of disorders of organs and organ systems, - define and describe the consequences of these mechanisms and changes in laboratory and clinical profiles. 2) practical skills The student is able to: - describe and explain the mechanisms leading to functional and morphological changes of blood cells, can distinguish the types of respiratory diseases using functional tests, describe the pathomechanisms leading to changes in urine and ruminal fluid, - work with laboratory results and explain the mechanisms leading to their deviations. 3) competences The student is able to: - evaluate pain and help manage it, describe the etiology, pathogenesis and, clinical signs of the underlying events and disorders occurring in common animal species, - integrate theoretical knowledge and practical skills and use them in subsequent independent work (updates, upgrades).
