Molecular and Immunological Interactions in Parasitology
A.Y. 2018/2019
Learning objectives
The aim of the course is to provide students with theoretical and practical information on molecular, biochemical and immunological dynamics established in the host-parasite coevolution process. The students will be introduced to the comprehension of the basic biological mechanisms determining the within-host (immunological) and between-host (epidemiological) relationships with parasites, and the parasite-disease dynamics.
