| Content | Description: A large part of neglected tropical diseases are parasitic infections. The course provides an introduction to medical parasitology and to other neglected tropical diseases of resource-constrained countries. The course will systematically cover the most important aspects of all groups of human parasites, including examples of current control approaches and programmes. Content: Lectures on biology Clinical significance Diagnosis and epidemiology of parasitic infections and other neglected tropical diseases Lectures on control approaches and their implementations The course is preparing the participant to the practical exercises which are provided in the 2 subsequent hours |
| Learning objectives | To understand the biology, diagnosis, clinical significance and epidemiology of medically important human parasites and other neglected tropical diseases; to gain an over-view of their prevention and treatment/intervention at the individual and community level. |
| Comments | Methods: Lectures on biology, clinical significance, diagnosis and epidemiology of parasitic infections and other neglected tropical diseases; lectures on control approaches and their implementations. |
