Semester Hours: 4
Spring
This course emphasizes current research on the diversity, ecology, life cycles, host pathology, and control of parasites. Through primary scientific literature students will explore parasites that infect man as well as host/parasite relationships of species infesting a range of invertebrate and vertebrate hosts. Students are required to complete a review paper on a focused topic in parasitology that pertains to their thesis research. In the laboratory, students learn techniques to isolate, identify, and investigate representative species. (3 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory.)
Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes:
A course in general ecology and/or organismal biology; or permission of instructor. No credit for BIO 250 if BIO 150 is on undergraduate transcript.
