An advanced course focused on cell biology and physiology of parasitic protozoa and helminths and on cellular and molecular interactions between the host and parasite. Following topics will be discussed: cytoskeleton, transport mechanisms and cell organelles of parasitic protozoa, mechanisms of host invasion by protozoa and helminths, escape mechanisms of parasites, ontogenetic regulations in parasitic helminths, hormonal interaction between the host and parasitic helminths, specific features of various types of infections (luminal, mucosal, tissue, intracellular). Mechanisms of drug action and other antiparasitic measures will be mentioned in the context of parasite biology

* Cellular and molecular basis of the host-parasite relationships 8.Intracellular infections by protozoa II. Interaction of apicomplexan parasites with host cells. (Toxoplasma, Theileria, Plasmodium). Induced endocytosis of malaria parasites by erythrocytes and molecules involved in this process. Manipulation of infected red blood cells by parasites. Pathogenicity mechanisms in Plasmodium falciparum malaria. (P. Doležal) 9 .Host-recognition and -invasion by helminths (chemoorientation of free living larvae; host-finding; penetration mechanisms - parasite lectins, peptidases, other enzymes; parasite orientation within the host body).
