| Relation to curriculum | Course description: This course covers the fundamental concepts of parasites and parasitism, encompassing taxonomy, morphology, and biology, along with diseases caused by endoparasite infections (protozoa and helminths) of veterinary significance, including their pathogenesis, clinical symptoms, epidemiology, and control. Laboratory practice is provided to enhance students’ ability to identify, diagnose, and manage endoparasites. Relation to curriculum: This courses lay the foundation for understanding internal parasites, emphasizing their identification, diagnosis, and control methods, thereby preparing students to address parasitic diseases across diverse animal species within the veterinary curriculum. |
