Objectives of the Course

The pharmacokinetics of important chemical substances oppose to helmint (cestoda, trematoda, nematoda), protozoa (Toxoplasma gondii, Plasmodium spp., Leishmania spp., Entomoeba hystolitica..)and ectoparasites (scabies, pediculosis), which are accepted in chemotherapeutic medicines, dose, toxity, adverbs effects, antiparasiter and resistance mechanism developing against the medicines and medicine interactions.
