Description
Hey there! Welcome to the Introduction to Medical Entomology course, the only course out there with everything you need to know on Medical Entomology, insect biology and insect transmitted diseases. Let me tell you why this course stands out and why you should enroll:This course is taught by a working research entomologist with experience in raising and teaching about insects.You will not find another course like this one anywhere else online without enrolling in costly and unnecessary online degrees at expensive Universities.   As new information in the field becomes available, I will update the course so that you are always up-to-date!Learning entomology anywhere else is often rushed and you have to cram in all the information without having a source of information you can go back to -  you will always have access to this course!The course is designed so that anyone is able to take it, whether beginner or advanced. By the end of this course, you will have learnt:The basics of insect biology and reproductionHow parasitism works and different kinds of parasitesA plethora of different and interesting insect species The organisms that take advantage of these insects behaviours to infect humans and animals How the relationships between the insects and their pathogens has driven human evolutionHow these diseases appear and how they are treated Different methods used to control medically important insect populations So, join us in this all-in-one medical entomology course and discover a world of beauty and dread like you've never heard before!
