Course Objectives of this class
The purpose of this course is to expose you to
the field of parasitology. No study of parasites is complete without mentioning
the main parasitic organisms that plague humans across the globe, so a majority
of the course will provide detailed coverage of parasites that are of public
health concern. The remainder of the semester will cover common human parasites
representing different animal phyla. Since parasites can be found in every
major animal phylum and are reliant on lifecycles that incorporate vertebrate
and invertebrate hosts, this course has a strong organismic focus.
Purpose of this blog
The purpose of this blog is to share articles and article summaries with other students from class. Post your article summary in this blog (preferably with a link, maybe a picture?) and comment on the posts of others. If you think other students will appreciate an article about parasites, send it to me and I will post it.
