Abstract:
To strengthen the understanding of schistosomiasis in the curriculum of human parasitology , an effective and feasible method will benefit to the improvement of teaching quality .In this study , by constructing mouse model of schistosomiasis infected with Schitosoma japonicum, designing standard teaching contents , and fully exploring the resources of this animal model in the practice classes , we displayed and interpreted the morphology of key stages of Schitosoma in its life cycle, its parasitic features, the symptoms of schistosomiasis in mouse model , the pathological changes of affected organs .The mouse model of schistosomiasis applied in the practice classes would make up for the shortages left in the theory classes , push the students to form a comprehensive understanding to schistosomiasis , to enhance their operation ability , and therefore , would significantly elevate the teaching quality of human parasitol-ogy course and contribute to the promotion of basic medical education .
