Parasites of Domestic Animals

This course is intended to introduce students to foundational principles in parasitology through the investigation of those parasites that have key importance in domestic animals. Topics include arthropod, protist, helminth, and acanthocephalan parasites of domestic animals with an emphasis on their biology, transmission, disease induced, and factors to take into account when considering prevention, control, and treatment approaches. Students then draw from knowledge of the biology of these key parasites in order to make inferences about related organisms. This course is intended as a core course for students enrolled in the Master of Professional Studies (MPS) in Veterinary Parasitology.
