Parasitology – Course series
Native and tropical parasites of humans and domestic animals
This course series comprises 25 carefully selected microscope slides from the field of medical and veterinary parasitology. It provides a systematic overview of protozoa, helminths and arthropods of diagnostic, biological and epidemiological significance.
The slides are suitable for teaching, training and study (school, university, laboratory and MT training) as well as for deepening parasitological knowledge.
