- Introduction to the study of parasitology: principles of ecology; host-parasite relationship; evolution of virulence;
- Pathogenic mechanisms in parasitic diseases; defense reaction by the host against the parasite.
- Aspects of applied molecular parasitology (Diagnostics):
- Development of serological methods for the search of Ac or Ag (IFA, ELISA, etc.). Development of programs able to identify eggs according to their pattern
- Development of molecular biological methods for the detection and / or typing of parasites in the samples for the identification of species, strains and pathogenic variants undetectable by conventional techniques
