Annotation -
In the first part of the course students are introduced to epidemiology of infectious diseases, its relevancy, basic terms and methods. Principles of performing epidemiological studies and of statistical data evaluation in context of avoiding possible misinterpretations (accident, bias, confounding etc.) are explained. Some important features of parasitic diseases, like vector transmission and maintenance in natural foci are outlined, likewise the problems of oportunistic diseases. The special part, dealing with important human parasitoses (e.g. amoebiasis, giardiasis, cryptosporidiosis, trichomoniasis, malaria, leishmaniasis, trypanosomiasis, toxoplasmosis, ascaridasis, larval toxocarosis, echinococcosis, scabies, trombiculosis etc.) and some arthropod-born diseases (e.g. tick-born encephalitis, Lyme disease and plague) is focused on the key points of the transmission to humans, means of control, prophylaxis and therapy
