Abstract:

With the development of the social economy, the change in life-style, population flow and increasing international travel, the social and natural factors related to the prevalence of parasitic diseases have changed significantly. This study analyzed the new changes in human parasitic diseases and the existing problems of human parasitology teaching in medical colleges. On this basis, several countermeasures were recommended for advancing human parasitology. The purpose of this study is to call on the teaching of human parasitology to keep pace with the times and hope that medical schools can play the role of talent training and basic research and contribute to the prevention, control and diagnosis of parasitic diseases in the new era in China.
