Parasitic Eukaryotes

This course presents the biology of parasitic eukaryotic organisms, taking into account their diversity. We will therefore cover both single-celled organisms and vertebrates.

In addition to physiological, anatomical, and morphological aspects, considerable attention will be given to describing their life cycles, which necessarily involve a phase of transmission to an obligate host.

L1 EU: From cells to organisms/ From organisms to ecosystems/ Life cycles-

EU of L2 S3 BO functions and BO evolution or basic skills in Biology of Organisms in L1 and L2 S3

A priori, the CC will consist of three events:

-A simple assessment (fill-in-the-blank questions, multiple-choice questions) of basic concepts

-An assessment of the construction of a simple cycle

-A "model organization" sheet to be completed in class (in pairs—computer or tablet required)

- D – Biology of Organisms

- A3-Understand the different levels of organization of organisms in the biosphere and their interactions

- C3- Understand the main flows of matter and energy in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems

- I 14 - Use of basic laboratory techniques (biomol, dilution, microscopic observation, dissection, sample preparation)

-I 3 -Be able to develop a logical argument with a critical mind (limitations, comparison with the literature, defense of a point of view)
