COURSE DESCRIPTION
Microbiology and Parasitology is a 4-unit course which deals with the study of bacteria, viruses, protozoan, fungi, and helminths, their fundamental characteristics,
pathogenicity, source, and mode of transmission. This course also covers the principles that underlie infection, immunity, and disease control and prevention. Emphasis will
also be given on the impact of microorganisms on human health and environment and their applications in industry.

The laboratory part will provide experiences and skills on microscopy, aseptic techniques, staining methods, culture methods, and identification of microorganisms and
parasites.
