It should be borne in mind that parasitism is the most widespread life strategy in nature. The study of the impact of parasitism can provide important information for better management and exploitation of resources. Thus, this subject describes the diversity of parasitic animals in all their manifestations and the adaptations of each species to its habitat, and studies parasite-host relationships: anatomy, morphology, biology, epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment.
The Microbiology module will deal with aspects related to biological contamination, microbial pathogens in aquaculture and the biotechnological potential of marine microbiota.
