Course content
Human parasitic diseases are spread all over the planet and control them is an important health task. Parasitic diseases have no specific symptoms. Therefore, due to the polymorphism of their manifestation, laboratory research is crucial for establishing a definitive diagnosis. Possession of methods of laboratory research, knowledge of anatomomorphological signs of parasites and features of their biology at different stages of development are necessary for laboratory students to diagnose parasitic human invasions.
