Public Health: Studying strategies to prevent parasitic diseases through hygiene, sanitation, and public health interventions.

Altınbaş students will gain an understanding of parasite biology, including life cycles and host interactions for protozoa and nematodes. They will explore how these parasites spread through vectors and their global distribution, while learning about the immune response to infections. Students will identify clinical symptoms, master diagnostic techniques like microscopy and PCR, and study treatment options, resistance issues, and prevention strategies. Additionally, they will focus on public health measures to control and prevent parasitic diseases.
