Lectures: The lectures for this course will provide you with an introduction to the general biology of the parasitic protozoans, helminths, and arthropods of humans and domestic animals. Lectures will emphasize the morphology, form and function, life cycles, symptomatology, and pathogenesis of representative taxa from these major parasitic groups. This information will be useful to you when you study protozoan and helminth parasites in the laboratory. Moreover, with this foundational understanding of parasitology in place, you will be in a better position to appreciate the impact that parasites have had on human civilizations throughout history, the applications of parasites to pure and applied research programs, and the recent contributions of parasitism to our general understanding of the ecology and evolution

Labs: The labs will provide you with an opportunity to identify and study commonly occurring parasites. Emphasis will be placed on the taxonomy, morphology, life cycles, and histopathology of parasites of humans and domestic animals. The laboratory has two main components: prepared specimens and necropsy (=dissection) of hosts. An examination of fixed and stained material is an essential first step to deciphering the biology of protozoanand helminth parasites. Each week you will be given handouts that provide you with general information for each of the parasites that you are required to study. Your textbook will also be an invaluable source of information as you begin to examine and learn the various parasites that are presented during the lab period. In an effort to fully appreciate the biology of parasites, it is also important to examine them in their natural habitats. Thus, we will periodically be performing necropsies on hosts in the laboratory in an attempt to get a look at a few of parasites in situ. One of the best sources of parasites in a class like this is from animals that have met their demise on our highways and byways. Be on the lookout for roadkills; the fresher the better! If you find a "worthy specimen," put it in a plastic bag and bring it to me so that I can store it in the lab freezer. The organs and tissues of game animals are another good source of parasites. If you know someone who is fishing or hunting deer, rabbits, ducks, quail, etc. this fall, ask them to save various body parts, including the liver, gizzard, and intestinal tract. During the last lab, we will examine our treasure trove of materials for parasites. Actually, you are encouraged to collect and examine roadkills and/or animal organs for parasites at any time during the semester.
There will be two lab exams during the course of the semester that will be based on the materials that you have studied in the lab (see the lab syllabus for the precise dates).
