The student must actively participate in lectures and practicals. For exam passing is necessary to prepare and defense of a seminary work on a topic specified by the guarantor (in the range A-E), which is the result of self-study. The exam is awarded based on the evaluation of acquired knowledge (in the range A-E).

After completing the course, the student will acquire comprehensive knowledge about parasitozoonosis and their causative agents, understanding of life cycles, epizootology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, as well as detailed information about clinical symptoms, therapy, diagnosis, differential diagnosis and therapy.
