Welcome to TMHM505 Medical Helminthology
This online learning resource supports the TMHM505 Medical Helminthology module in the MSc Tropical Medicine programme. The materials include video lectures prepared by our teaching team, covering three major groups of helminths of medical importance: nematodes, cestodes and trematodes. The lectures introduce their morphology, life cycles, ecology and epidemiology, together with the diseases they cause, diagnosis, treatment, prevention and control.
You are encouraged to study the videos at your own pace and revisit relevant topics throughout the course. Please use these materials alongside laboratory sessions, group discussions and assigned activities to strengthen your understanding and apply your knowledge to problems in medical helminthology. We hope you enjoy learning with us.
