eBook Parasitology. Exercise book. 6-year MD teaching program pdf

The medical parasitology course takes place in our department during the practical classes (25 hours). The purpose of this EXERCISE BOOK is to reduce the introduction time and to devote more time to practical classes.
The EXERCISE BOOK determines precisely the knowledge and skills which the student should acquire during the medical parasitology course according to the curriculum for 6-year MD students. At the beginning of each exercise information within the box describes the scope of knowledge required from the student after completion of the classes. To make it easier to note down during the lecture and to remember the theory part, we introduced tables at the end of the exercises which should be filled in. The sequence of exercises was arranged following mainly the laboratory experiments and parasite taxonomy.
The medical parasitology exercises are based on original materials (fixed and stained microscopic preparations, macroscopic preparations of parasites and live in vitro grown parasites). The EXERCISE BOOK was developed with the idea of improving microscopic observations and recording documentation of significant features to identify parasites. After completion of the classes the students should acquire knowledge and skills according to the detailed results of the education.
