DIAGNOSTIC PARASITOLOGY II:
BLOODBORNE & TISSUE PARASITES
SEPTEMBER 20 —23, 2016 • CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION • ATLANTA, GA
Blood and tissue parasite infections remain an ongoing potential public health threat. The nation's blood supply is at risk as it has been documented that
Plasmodium spp.,
Babesia spp.,
Trypanosoma cruzi, and
Leishmania spp. can be acquired through contaminated blood products in addition to other well-known transmission modes. Conditions associated with human filariasis have significant impact on the physical health, economic well-being, and quality of life of infected persons. During this three and one-half day, hands-on workshop, faculty from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will instruct participants in how to detect and identify blood and tissue organisms. Lectures and hands-on laboratory exercises will target
Plasmodium spp.,
Babesia spp., microfilariae,
Leishmania spp., and
Trypanosoma spp.
