Description
This course presents the biology of eukaryotic parasitic organisms, taking into account their diversity. Both unicellular and vertebrate organisms will be covered.
In addition to physiological, anatomical and morphological aspects, a great deal of attention will be devoted to describing their life cycles, which necessarily include a phase of transmission to an obligate host.
Necessary prerequisites
UE de L1 : From cells to organisms/ From organisms to ecosystems/ Life cycles-
UE of L2 S3 BO functions and BO evolution or basic skills in Organismal Biology in L1 and L2 S3
