This course serves as an introduction to parasitology. Topics include basic parasite biology (host-parasite co-evolution, life cycles of parasites, transmission, and disease) as well as an overview of key parasite groups (microparasites - protozoans, ameobas, gregarines, etc. - macroparasites - trematodes, cestodes, nematodes, etc. - arthropods - flies, lice, mosquitoes, true bugs, parasitoid ...
The Journal of Parasitology is a peer-reviewed medical journal covering research on parasites published bimonthly by Allen Press on behalf of the American Society of Parasitologists. Content includes research articles, brief research notes, announcements of the society, and book reviews. It was founded and edited by Henry Baldwin Ward in 1914. [1]

When comparing host sister clades we tend to find taxonomically richer parasite fauna on the taxonomically richer group of hosts. Eichler's rule is one of several coevolutionary rules which states that parasites tend to be highly specific to their hosts, and thus it seems reasonable to expect a positive co-variation between the taxonomic richness of hosts and that of their parasites.
Parasitology Research, formerly known as Zeitschrift für Parasitenkunde (German for Journal for Parasite Study) is a journal founded by Albrecht Hase (born March 16, 1882, died November 20, 1962), a German entomologist and parasitologist. From its inception in 1928 until 1961, he was co-publisher and editor-in-chief of the journal. [1]
Parasitology is the study of parasites, their hosts, and the relationship between them. As a biological discipline , the scope of parasitology is not determined by the organism or environment in question but by their way of life.
Quantitative parasitology deals with measures to quantify parasite loads in samples of hosts and to make statistical comparisons of parasitism across host samples. In evolutionary biology, parasite load has important implications for sexual selection and the evolution of sex, as well as openness to experience. [1] High parasite load.
Experimental Parasitology is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering the field of parasitology.It is published by Elsevier and was established in 1951. [1] The main topics covered are the physiology, immunology, biochemistry, and molecular biology of eukaryotic parasites, and the interaction between the parasite and its host, including chemotherapy against parasites.
