Hours of individual study:

To benefit from the course the student should have basic knowledge of physiology, pathology and physiopathology, microbiology and clinical microbiology.

Educational Goals

At the end of the course the student will be able to:
understand the epidemiological and clinical importance of parasitic diseases;
describe the life cycle and routes of transmission of main human parasites;
understand social and behavioral determinants of parasite transmission and burden;
describe the clinical presentation of main human parasitic diseases;
organize a diagnostic procedure to confirm/exclude main human parasitic diseases;
understand the rational for the treatment of parasitosis.

Content

epidemiological and clincal feautires of the m,ain vector trasmission parasities
Epidemiological and clinical features of the main food-borne parasites.
Interrelations between human mobility and circulation of pathogens.

Extended Syllabus

1. Biological cycle of main human parasites
2. Diagnostic and therapeutic approach of main human parasites.
3. Updated concepts on the following specific diseases:
Gastrointestinal parasitosis (i.e. amebiasis, strongyloidiasi, giardiasis, etc.)
Parasitosis transmitted through the vertical (i.e., toxoplasmosis) and sexual route (es. trichomoniasis)
zoonosis and emergent infections (es. tripanosomiasis)
imported diseases (i.e. malaria, etc.)

Teaching Methods

Front lectures, based on the presentations of clinical cases. The exchange of opinion with the class is strongly encouraged.

Assessment Methods

The final exam aims at evaluating the level of knowledge acquired on the topics listed in the official course programme. The exam consists of 30 multi-choice questions (to jointly cover the programme of Infectious Diseases and Parasitic Diseases). The final mark of this integrated course will be calculated by the arithmetic means of the marks in Infectious Diseases/Parasitic Diseases, Hematology, and Gastro-Intestinal Diseases.

Other Information

The course on Parasitic Diseases is complemented by a one-week stage at the la Clinica di Malattie Infettive e Tropicali – UOC di Malattie Infettive situata all’interno della ASST Spedali Civili di Brescia. Students need to attend 80% or more of the expected time. There is an oral exam at the end of the stage to ascertain students progresses.
