Výsledky vzdelávania
The graduate of the helminthology course in terms of theoretical and practical skills will be able to master the basic scientific methods of helminth research, which will be able to creatively apply and develop in experimental parasitology. By completing the course, the student will have a detailed overview of all major classes of helminths. It will provide detailed information on accurate species diagnosis of helminths according to morphological characteristics and methods of obtaining samples from animals and the environment. The student will gain practical skills in the preparation of macro and micro specimens of parasitic worms. By completing the course, the student will have a detailed overview of zoonotic worms.
Stručná osnova predmetu
The main subject of helminthology is the comprehensive knowledge of the parasite-host relationship and the pathogenic effect of the parasite on the host. Part of the teaching of the subject is the knowledge of the body structure of helminths, reproduction, their often very complex developmental cycles associated with host rotation, morphological and physiological adaptations related to the parasitic way of life. Helminthology encompasses the study of the species composition of four basic classes - Digenea, Cestoda, Nematoda and Acanthocephala. As part of the practical lessons, the student will undergo special diagnostic and staining methods of nematode processing, which is a necessity in their determination. The student will learn the principles of collecting and fixing parasitic worms, as well as the principles of total and partial parasitological dissection of cadavers.
