Annotation -
Selective course in field parasitology. A field trip to the area of south-eastern Romania (Danube Delta), where a "Summer School" will be held in cooperation with students and teachers from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the University of Cluj and students and teachers from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of Brno, in order to introduce students mainly to the examination, detection and diagnostic methods focused on internal and external parasites of livestock and wildlife. The program will also include trapping, identification and dissection of blood-sucking insects and other arthropods. Students will have their own research projects (collection, processing and evaluation of material) as part of the field placement. In some years this course (International Summer School: Field Parasitology) may take place in other suitable locations in cooperation with local universities.
Students are expected to contribute financially.
You can learn more about the course in previous years from the participants' own writings, videos and photo galleries - see http://web.natur.cuni.cz/parasitology/vyuka/Fieldparasitology/.

Requirements to the exam -

Active participation in the field (laboratory) course (even partial absence is not allowed). It is mandatory to keep a record of all observations, catches, necropsies, etc., including a list of all hosts (common and scientific names) and parasites (scientific names), as well as drawings of the observed parasites. Active participation in working groups and active completion of tasks within individual work activities (both in working groups and individually) is also required.

Syllabus -

The fieldwork in the agricultural landscape of the Danube Delta focuses on the identification of arthropods, helminths and protozoa that parasitize mainly domestic (and partly wild) animals.

In an international environment and under the guidance of veterinarians, students will learn the handling of domestic animals and the techniques for collecting and processing various samples. The laboratory course documents the ontogeny and life cycles of selected parasite groups under natural conditions. Emphasis is placed on parasite collection methods, including parasitological examination of hosts, fixation and preservation of parasites, and subsequent preparation for identification and further processing. Other components include the capture of blood-sucking dicots using light and CO2 traps, their identification and dissection for the presence of transmitted protozoa and helminths, and the isolation of live parasites for culture and in vitro study.
