EEB 4274: INTRODUCTION TO ANIMAL PARASITOLOGY
Fall 2009
This is an introductory course of the survey type. Coverage includes
the diversity of protozoan and metazoan groups with members that
parasitize animals. There is some emphasis on groups of particular
medical and/or economic importance. The lectures and labs emphasize
knowledge of the biology of individual parasites. Some "principles of
parasitism" are introduced in relation to groups of parasites that
exemplify them particularly well.
