Learning outcomes
Student will know and understand the phenomenon of parasitism among Protista and Animalia, with emphasis on taxonomy, morphology biology, pathogenicity and epidemiology of parasitic disease among wild and domestic animals and a man. Student will recognize the host-parasite interaction at the molecular and individual level in population and ecosystem. Student can properly interpret the parasitism in context of evolution and function of ecosystems. Student can critically evaluate the public information concerning the risk of infection with parasites.
KNOWLEDGE
1. Understand phenomenon and mechanisms in the host-parasite interaction in population and ecosystem K-W05BI1, K_W06BI1, K_W07BI1, K_W09BI1, K_W01BI2, K_W02BI2
2. Student recognizes biodiversity of parasites and understand how specificity of the interaction develope. K_W10BI1, K_W03BI2, K_W04BI2
3. Student knows and can describe mechanisms of parasitic evolution using bioinformatic tools K_W11BI1, K_W12BI1, K_W04BI2, K_W05BI2, K_W07BI2, K_W09BI2, K_W18BI, 1K_W18BI2
4. Student understand basic terms of parasitology, patogenecity of parasites and epidemiology of parasitic diseases. K_W05BI1, K_W09BI1, K_W06BI2, K_W10BI2, K_W13BI2
5. Student knows and understand enviromental contribution of the host-parasite interaction and recognizes risk factors for human and animal health. Also understands principles for parasitic control programme. K_W10BI1, K_W10BI2, K_W13BI2, K_W14BI2, K_W19BI1, K_W19BI2
SKILLS
1. Student can intrepretate the phenomenon of parasitism at molecular and individual interactions in population and ecosystem; analyses data of parasite biology in realation to epidemiology of parasitic diseases. K_U01BI1,K_U01BI2, K_U04BI1,
2 Student use and understand scientific language and parasitological terminology, gets data from electronical sources and scienific publications K_U03BI1, K_U03BI2,
3. Student can critically evaluate the public information concerning the risk of infection with parasites.K_U04BI1, K_U04BI2, , K_U09BI2)
4. Is prepared to plan his own professional career using parasitological knowledge. K_U10BI1, (K_U13BI2)
5. He knows how to dealing with risk factor of parasitic infections. (K_U12BT2)
SOCIO-COMPETENCE
1. Student expends owns knowledge of parasitology interests in medicine and veterinary (K_K01BI1, K_K01BI2 K-K03BI1)
2. Student understands and can clearly explain new information in parasitology and feel to be responsible for his informative activities in society.(K_K03BI1, K_K03BI1, K_K04BI1, K_K02BI2, K_K03BI2, K_K11BI2)
3. Student is cautious and critical in evaluation of public information concerning the risk factors of infection with parasites. Students understands the need to improve and develop his professional career and skills; (K_K06BI1, K_K08BI1, K_K10BI2, K_K07BI2)
4. Student is responsible for evaluation of risk factors of parasitological research
