This course is obligatory for students of master study in parasitology. Suitable for students of the department of zoology (entomology).
The course is focused on demonstration and identification of parasitic crustacean, acarids and insects on permanent microscopic slides and in stereomicroscopes (in alcohol or "dry" specimens) or a living state (ticks, bugs and Diptera). Basic morphological features useful for identification and determination of various groups of blood-sucking arthropods and their most important representatives are demonstrated. Part of the practical course is devoted to the anatomy of various groups (stained specimens, autopsy of a bug and mosquito) and emphasizes structures important for pathogen transfer. Part of the course is also a half-day excursion to the Elbe and Libice to the mosquito area with a demonstration of the developmental stages of several groups of blood-sucking insects etc.
