** Medical & Veterinary Parisitology Special Course Description for spring 2008 Seminar in Biology
. Taught by Dr. William Campbell, RISE Scholar and world-famous parasitologist. (2 credits) T 4:30-6:10 p.m
  COURSE DESCRIPTION: Parasites cause many diseases in humans, farm animals and pets.  Some of them, such as malaria, are among the world's most deadly diseases, and are of enormous social and economic as well as medical significance. This course examines the biology of protozoan, worm and arthropod pathogens.  It places emphasis on the diseases they cause and on the scientific challenges involved in their control.  Students participate in class discussion of selected parasites, and also report individually on a variety of parasitological topics. Prerequisite: Biology 9. Counts for the biology major and minor and toward the organismal subarea requirement.
