Course Objectives
At the conclusion of this program, the participant will be able to:
Explain how to prepare and stain thick and thin blood smears.
Review the morphologic characteristics of Plasmodium spp., Babesia spp., Microfilariae,
Leishmania spp., and Trypanosoma spp.
Detect and identify Plasmodium spp., Babesia spp., Microfilariae, Leishmania spp., and
Trypanosome spp. in clinical specimens.
Discuss rapid diagnostic tests available for identifying Plasmodium spp., Babesia spp.,
Leishmania spp., and Trypanosoma spp.
Review the morphologic characteristics of intestinal helminths and protozoa of public health
concern.
Microscopically detect and identify helminths and protozoa.
Detect Cyclospora cayetanensis using fluorescence microscopy.
Describe the process for clearing or staining proglottids with lactophenol cotton blue or India
ink.
Description
Diagnosis of most parasitic infections is based upon the morphologic characteristics of the different
stages of parasites in and out of their human hosts. Therefore, it is necessary to correctly process,
examine, detect, and identify parasitic organisms from clinical specimens. During this five‐day
intermediate‐level hands‐on workshop, faculty from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will
instruct participants on how to detect and identify blood and tissue organisms as well as medically
important intestinal helminths and protozoa.
