    This document provides an introduction to the field of medical parasitology. It defines parasitism and describes the different types of parasites and host-parasite relationships. Key terms are explained, including intermediate host, definitive host, reservoir host, diagnostic stage, infective stage, and vector. The life cycle, routes of infection, clinical aspects, diagnosis, and epidemiology of parasites are discussed. Objectives of the parasitology course are outlined, focusing on terminology, identification, morphology, life cycles, transmission, diagnosis, clinical aspects, control, and prevention of trematode, cestode, and nematode parasites.

    What is Medical Parasitology?

    It is the science that concerns


    with the study of human
    parasites.

    What is a parasite?
    Simply, a parasite is an organism
    living in or on another living
    organism, obtaining from it part
    or all of its organic nutriment,
    usually to the detriment (harm)
    of its host.

    The parasite
    Accidental : unusual Host
    can be termed as:
    - Obligate parasite when it can live only in a host.
    - Facultative parasite when it can live both in a
    host as well as in free form.
    - Endoparasite when it lives inside the body.
    - Ectoparasite when it lives on the body surface.
    - Pathogenic parasite when it can cause harm to
    the host.
    - Commensals (non-pathogenic parasite) when
    benefits from the host without causing any
    harm.

    general morphology of the stages for each
    parasite in trematodes, cestodes and nematodes.
    ● Understand and describe the complete life cycle
    of for the covered parasites in trematodes,
    cestodes and nematodes.
    ● Outline the epidemiological aspects and mode of
    transmission for the covered parasites in
    trematodes, cestodes and nematodes.
    GENERAL

    ● Identify the infective stages and diagnostic
    stages of each parasite covered in trematodes,
    cestodes and nematodes.
    ● Describe the clinical aspects of each parasite
    covered in trematodes, cestodes and nematodes.
    ● Outline and describe the laboratory diagnosis for
    each parasite covered in trematodes, cestodes
    and nematodes.
    ● Outline the ways of control and prevention for
    each parasite covered in trematodes, cestodes
