| Parasitic infections have profound impact on the human population throughout the World. Thus, infections with parasitic organisms have a serious effect on the health and survival of both animals and humans. In order to influence the situation basic efforts in the fields of parasitological research, diagnosis and control are needed. A number of basic techniques are included starting with dissection of organisms and examination of blood, tissue and organs. Both qualitative and quantitative methods will be used. Identification of parasites will be based on classical morphological techniques, molecular methods (PCR, RFLP) and immunological tools (ELISA, Western blot). Experimental in vitro and in vivo models will be included. Further, principles of experimental design with parasitological and epidemiological investigations. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Undervisningsform | |||||||||||||||||||
| Lectures, colloquia (seminars), demonstrations, laboratory work (exercises) and student projects. Teaching will include a systematic presentation of methods. In addition, case stories in which the presented methods can be used will be discussed. Students will apply the techniques in practical laboratory work. Finally, the students will conduct a project in which the techniques are included. The results of the project will be presented by the students in a written project report to be evaluated. | |||||||||||||||||||
