CONDITIONS FOR COMPLETION OF COURSE
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).
Learning outcomes
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.
Brief outline of the course
1. Leishmaniasis – characteristics of the disease and taxonomic classification of the causative agent, biology, epidemiology and epizootology, diagnostic methods and therapy, prevention options
2. Entamebosis – characteristics of the disease and taxonomic classification of the causative agent, biology, epidemiology and epizootology, diagnostic methods and therapy, prevention options
3. Giardiasis – characteristics of the disease and taxonomic classification of the causative agent, biology, epidemiology and epizootology, diagnostic methods and therapy, prevention options
4. Cryptosporidiosis – characteristics of the disease and taxonomic classification of the causative agent, biology, epidemiology and epizootology, diagnostic methods and therapy, prevention options
5. Sarcocystosis – characteristics of the disease and taxonomic classification of the causative agent, biology, epidemiology and epizootology, diagnostic methods and therapy, prevention options 6. Toxoplasmosis, disease characteristics and taxonomic classification of the causative agent, biology, epidemiology and epizootology, diagnosis and therapy, prevention options
7. Echinococcosis – characteristics of the disease and taxonomic classification of the causative agent, biology, epidemiology and epizootology, diagnostic methods and therapy, prevention options
8. Toxocariasis – characteristics of the disease and taxonomic classification of the causative agent, biology, epidemiology and epizootology, diagnostic methods and therapy, prevention options
