| Course abstract | |
| The aim of the course is to introduce the place of animal parasites in the zoological system, their morphology, biology, lifestyle, relations with the host's organism and the environment, as well as animal invasion diseases caused by them - development cycles, pathogenesis, clinical manifestation and pathological anatomical changes, diagnosis, treatment and prevention. | |
| Learning outcomes and their assessment | |
| Knowledge of the mutual relations between humans, animals and parasites in the ecosystem - two tests.
Skill – to find an explanation in the evaluation of parasitofauna; analyze and discuss the spread of invasive diseases, diagnostic methods of parasites; constantly diagnose disease agents, determine treatment and prevention - practical works. Competence – to be able to analyze and explain the harmful effects of parasitic protozoa, worms and arthropods in host vertebrates – cows, sheep, goats, horses, pigs, dogs, cats, forest and other animals – CCRA. |
