Human Parasitology is the study of those species of the animal kingdom that cause disease in human beings. The teaching target of human parasitology is helping medical students to grasp the morphological features, life cycle and main harm of the parasites and vector-arthropods to human beings, to master the basic technology of common parasite examination and to establish foundation for clinical medicine, preventive medicine and the control of parasitic diseases.

Parasitic infections and diseases are the most common diseases in the world. Therefore, parasitology has an important role on medicine and public health. During our relatively short history on Earth, humans have acquired an amazing number of parasites, about 530 species of helminth worms and over 120 species of protozoa. Many of these are rare and accidental parasites, but we still harbor about 90 relatively common species, of which a small proportion cause some of the most important diseases in the world, inevitably, these are the ones that have received the most attention.
