This course covers topics of parasitology with emphasis on parasite diversity, evolutionary biology of parasitism, eco-immunology and biodiversity, and the future of parasitology. Specific vertebrate host immunity strategies against protozoan and helminth parasites, vector immunity, parasite evasion strategies, and pathology and disease associated with parasitic infections will also be covered. Lectures will be followed by active discussions of selected readings pertaining to current research in the subject area. Prerequisite: ZOOL 352 or MMI 426 or consent of Department. Credit cannot be obtained for both ZOOL 452 and ZOOL 552.
