(Classification, phylogeny, structure and ultrastructure, life cycles and host-parasite relationships of protozoan parasites of man and animals. Obligatory course of the MSc curriculum for students of parasitology).

1. Introduction. The general classification of the organismal realm. Unicellular eukaryotic organisms: Protista, Protoctista, Protozoa, Archezoa. Protozoan phyla.

2. Phylum Euglenozoa. The kinetoplastid flagellates I. (Bodonids: Bodo, Cryptobia, Trypanoplasma).

3. Phylum Euglenozoa. The kinetoplastid flagellates II. (monogenetic trypanosomatids, digenetic trypanosomatids, Trypanosoma, Leishmania).

4. Phylum Metamonada (retortamonads, diplomonads: Giardia and related organisms). Phylum Oxymonada.

5. Phylum Parabasala. The trichomonads and related organisms. Hypermastigine flagellates.

6. Parasitic amoebic organisms I. Phylum Percolozoa. Naegleria fowleri and the primary amoebic meningoencephalitis. Phylum Amoebozoa (Acanthamoeba, Balamuthia). Amoebae and Legionella infections.

7. Parasitic amoebic organisms II. Intestinal amoebae.

8. Phylum Apicomplexa I. Gregarines and related organisms. Cryptosporidium.

9. Phylum Apicomplexa II. Coccidia (Eimeria, Toxoplasma, Neospora, Sarcocystis).

10. Phylum Apicomplexa III. Hemozoea (Plasmodium, Babesia, Theileria).
