Abstract:

Human parasitology is one of the theoretical bases for national infectious disease prevention and control, clinical diagnosis and treatment. In order to improve the undergraduate education of human parasitology, Nanjing Medical University integrated the One Health concept into the teaching of human parasitology, established the Chinese and English versions of “Schistosomiasis Prevention and Control Virtual Simulation Project”. The project is based on controlling schistosomiasis in Zanzibar aided by the Jiangsu Institute of Schistosomiasis Control and Prevention, which uses virtual simulation technology to restore the epidemic scene of African schistosomiasis. It completes the practical training of students through Internet technology. This project breaks through the limitation of time and space, simulated and trained the students’ comprehensive judgment ability and on-site response-ability, investigated the students’ theoretical mastery and practical application ability, strengthened the students’ practical thinking of parasitic disease prevention, and helped students establish the concept of One Health, which has important teaching significance. This paper introduces the design and development of this project.

Key words: Human parasitology, virtual simulation project, Experimental teaching, Schistosomiasis Prevention and Control, One Health
