    About the Course

    This course provides students an understanding of important human parasitic diseases, including their life cycles, vectors of transmission,
    distribution and epidemiology, pathophysiology and clinical manifestations, treatment, and prevention and control. Tropical Parasitology is
    taught by faculty from an area highly impacted by tropical parasites- the Kilimanjaro Christian Medical University College in Moshi, Tanzania.
    The faculty include Drs. Frank Mosha and Mramba Nyindo (and two lecturers, Drs. Johnson Matowo and Jovin Kitau). Dr. John Bartlett, Professor
    of Medicine, Global Health and Nursing at Duke University, joins his faculty colleagues in this effort.

    Thank you

    It has been the most complicated, difficult and long course I have taken, but in the end in the exams, with the cases I think I understood the importance for public health.

    I appreciate the work you do, it must be very difficult but also exciting to meet every tropical parasite, protozoan, worm, vector that causes diseases in humans.

    Fantastic course, I learned a lot and really enjoyed all of the presenters in the course! The only thing I could see making it better would be to incorporate more photos and field/patient videos into the course, but this doesn't detract from how well presented the course actually was. Anyone interested in parasitology, this is for you!

    Probably one of the most interesting courses I came across in this website (and I say that after 4 years and 9 completed courses here). It is very interesting to see some of the videos showing the situation in situ to understand better where the parasites can be found or how some prevention methods work. I do highly recommend it.

    The outside videos were most informative. The lecturers were often easy to follow and the presentations logically and very well presented. There were several times that words were listed inaudible, that could be heard (and mis-hearings of a few terms). An excellent course, well worth the effort of taking it. Thank You!

    If you want to expand your knowledge in an (for most people) unknown field, this is the course you'd take. You'll definitely be amazed by the multitude of parasitic diseases and their ways to invade and infect our bodies. Medical knowledge is necessary if you want to understand all lectures.

    This course is definitely one of the best I've taken. It have great contente presented in a very smooth way (not very dynamic nor boring). The videos where they visit the high transmission sites are very cool and important. It's a must take course if you are in the health field.

    very good course, I like the interview with the local doctors, give you a perspective how it looks like in the clinic, and how the patient looks like with the symptoms, really like the interview part with experience doctors, give medical students a sense of practice.

    This course was great - with an easy layout and navigation, and the amazing professors! Thank you so much! An absolute beginner can definitely enjoy and follow along also. Wonderful in depth and real world videos, and interviews with proffesionals in the field.

    This was an exceptional course. I have had difficulty getting a comprehensive parasitology course in Utah. Thank you very much. I admit that I wasn't familiar with many of the organisms featured, but I know this information will be very valuable.

    Create course . It helped me a lot reviewing my knowledge about Parasitology . The most I liked were the field lectures as it is like someone is attending a field trip . Case studies in the final exam were exciting . Thank you for your efforts .

    A very practically oriented course! very very well structured. The final exam quiz is based on case studies and is a real pleasure to apply what is learnt in the course. I also appreciate the efforts put in to structure the course so well.

    I very much enjoyed this class and would only have preferred that it be longer and that more organisms were discussed. Thank you for this engaging opportunity and I look forward to future opportunities as they may arise!

    It is a great course to know more about parasites and how they are around us. Honestly, I realized how good it was until the middle of the course. Biological, Clinical and Social implication of each disease. GREAT WORK.

    Very thorough. Wished some of the videos were a little easier to understand what the lecturers were saying though. By printing out the transcripts (which I would advise) it made it a little easier to follow along.

    A very nice course for those that like this area of Microbiology. Highly recomended, the ponents explain very well the clinical histories and give good examples of what the vectors and symptoms of the disease are.
