The Department of Parasitology provides the Master and Doctoral programmes in Parasitology.
It also coordinates the theses of the Bachelor degree students focused on parasitology.

The teaching/studies at the Department of Parasitology are focused on biology, diagnostics, clinical manifestations, immunology, biochemistry, ecology, and evolution of parasites. Our department provides theoretical, practical, and field lectures and courses; we organize field training courses in the Czech Republic as well as abroad (for more info, see the For students).
The research covers structural, taxonomical, ecological, biochemical, immunological, phylogenetic, evolutionary, population-genetic, phylogeographic, and genomic aspects of parasite biology. It is focused on several dominant groups of parasites, and also on their symbiotic microorganisms (for more info, see the Research Teams).
