<br />
==Course Objectives==<br />
<span style="font-size: medium"><br />
The course is focused on the biology of the parasites responsible for human diseases. It is organized by parasite group and aims to provide: <br><br />
<font color="#C70039">'''(1)'''</font color="#C70039"> An overview of the major parasite taxa infecting humans globally. <br><br />
<font color="#C70039">'''(2)'''</font color="#C70039"> An appreciation of the diversity of life-cycles, portals of entry, sites infected, modes of reproduction these parasites employ. <br><br />
<font color="#C70039">'''(3)'''</font color="#C70039"> A basic understanding of the pathology associated with, and diagnosis of, infection with each major parasite group.<br />
</span><br />
<br />
== Specific Learning Outcomes==<br />
<span style="font-size: medium"><br />
The course will provide a sound parasitological foundation for students who wish to pursue a career in a medical or related field.<br><br />
<font color="#C70039">'''(1)'''</font color="#C70039"> Know fundamental concepts of parasitology and the technical vocabulary used in the field. <br><br />
<font color="#C70039">'''(2)'''</font color="#C70039"> Identify common human parasite taxa based on morphological, biological, clinical, and geographic criteria, and the diseases they cause.<br><br />
<font color="#C70039">'''(3)'''</font color="#C70039"> Understand the human body as a home to parasites in terms of portals of entry and exit, and sites occupied by parasites.<br><br />
<font color="#C70039">'''(4)'''</font color="#C70039"> Appreciate the complexity of parasite life-cycles and transmission strategies.<br><br />
<font color="#C70039">'''(5)'''</font color="#C70039"> Hone critical thinking skills by applying fact-based knowledge of human parasites to scenarios involving infection diagnosis and prevention.<br><br />

==Course Objectives==<br />
<span style="font-size: medium"><br />
The course is focused on the biology of the parasites responsible for human diseases. It is organized by parasite group and aims to provide: <br><br />
<font color="#C70039">'''(1)'''</font color="#C70039"> An overview of the major parasite taxa infecting humans globally. <br><br />
<font color="#C70039">'''(2)'''</font color="#C70039"> An appreciation of the diversity of life-cycles, portals of entry, sites infected, modes of reproduction these parasites employ. <br><br />
<font color="#C70039">'''(3)'''</font color="#C70039"> A basic understanding of the pathology associated with, and diagnosis of, infection with each major parasite group.<br />
</span><br />
<br />
== Specific Learning Outcomes==<br />
<span style="font-size: medium"><br />
The course will provide a sound parasitological foundation for students who wish to pursue a career in a medical or related field.<br><br />

==Course Objectives==<br />
<span style="font-size: medium"><br />
The course is focused on the biology of the parasites responsible for human diseases. It is organized by parasite group and aims to provide: <br><br />
<font color="#C70039">'''(1)'''</font color="#C70039"> an overview of the major parasite taxa infecting humans globally, <br><br />
<font color="#C70039">'''(2)'''</font color="#C70039"> an appreciation of the diversity of life-cycles, portals of entry, sites infected, modes of reproduction these parasites employ, and <br><br />
<font color="#C70039">'''(3)'''</font color="#C70039"> a basic understanding of the pathology associated with, and diagnosis of, infection with each major parasite group.<br />
</span><br />
<br />
== Specific Learning Outcomes==<br />
<span style="font-size: medium"><br />
The course will provide a sound parasitological foundation for students who wish to pursue a career in a medical or related academic field.<br><br />
<font color="#C70039">'''(1)'''</font color="#C70039"> Know fundamental concepts of parasitology and the technical vocabulary used in the field. <br><br />
<font color="#C70039">'''(2)'''</font color="#C70039"> Identify common human parasite taxa based on morphological, biological, clinical, and geographic criteria, and the diseases they cause.<br><br />
<font color="#C70039">'''(3)'''</font color="#C70039"> Understand the human body as a home to parasites in terms of portals of entry and exit, and sites occupied by parasites.<br><br />
<font color="#C70039">'''(4)'''</font color="#C70039"> Appreciate the complexity of parasite life-cycles and transmission strategies.<br><br />
<font color="#C70039">'''(5)'''</font color="#C70039"> Hone critical thinking skills by applying fact-based knowledge of human parasites to scenarios involving infection diagnosis and prevention.<br><br />
