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 ...
These can be categorized into three groups; cestodes, nematodes and trematodes.Examples include: Acanthocephala; Ascariasis (roundworms); Cestoda (tapeworms) including: Taenia saginata (human beef tapeworm), Taenia solium (human pork tapeworm), Diphyllobothrium latum (fish tapeworm) and Echinococcosis (hydatid tapeworm)

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.
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.
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.
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]
The journal was established by Sir Ronald Ross in 1906 as Annals of Tropical Medicine and Parasitology to share the results of the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine's research and field expeditions.
