Suitable for all students interested in parasitology, zoology and ecology. Recommended for the master study of parasitology (suitable to complete the first or second year of bachelor study).
The course deals with parasites important for human and veterinary medicine and at the same time acquaints students with interesting and exceptional representatives of individual groups. The course is focused on demonstration and simple identification of the most important representatives. Permanent microscopic preparations (slides) are used. Part of the parasites is demonstrated native (protozoa, developmental stages of fluke, leeches, ticks and blood-feeding insects etc.) or in stereomicroscopes (ethanol preserved or "dry").
Overview of presented parasites: Protozoa: Trypanosomes (T. brucei - causative agent of sleeping sickness and T. cruzi), leishmania, Giardia intestinalis, Trichomonas vaginalis, Entamoeba histolytica, wild amoebae (Naegleria, Acantamoeba) causing accidental infections. Coccidia (Eimeria, Isospora, Toxoplasma), Plasmodium - the causative agent of human malaria, babesia. Microsporidia. Parasitic ciliates (Ciliata), Myxosporea.

Arthropods: Mites: Ticks (Argasidae) and ticks (Ixodidae), Sarcoptes scabiei, Neotrombicula autumnalis, Demodex mites, allergic mites. Insects: Lice (Anoplura) and lice (Malophaga), bedbugs Cimex lectularius, fleas (Aphaniptera) and two-winged family Culicidae, Psychodidae, Ceratopogonidae, Simuliidae, Tabanidae, Stomoxyidae, Glossinidae, Hippoboscidae.
