Parasitología médica: ¡5 nematodos y las enfermedades que causan!

This is a biology course aimed at teens who have a keen interest in the natural science and medicine. We will explore 5 different nematode parasites that infects humans. A  new parasite will be presented every week. Students  will learn about many aspects of the organism's biology, such as its general appearance, life-cycle, how it affects its host and the disease it causes. Many parasites are very specialized and have complicated life-cycles that illustrate the complexity of nature. Parasitic diseases are among the most important diseases both in human and veterinary medicine, and we will discuss how they have affected mankind in the past as well as in the present.
I am a former researcher with a PhD in parasitology, so I welcome questions and discussions iduring class or by message,. Because parasites are so interesting, it is easy to make this class fun . However, I want students to gain accurate scientific knowledge and to learn how to think scientifically. I will be drawing back on my own experience as a scientist.
