Features: Based on the requirements of clinical practice applications and teaching convenience, the editors have completely revised the format of this experimental guide and added new experimental techniques and knowledge. In terms of format, it is divided according to the parasitic sites of parasites, with sections on morphological observation and experimental techniques, arranging the teaching content into 9 experiments. The first 6 experiments focus on parasitic morphology observation, while the last 3 cover experimental techniques. To highlight key points, common or important parasites are separated from rare ones. In terms of the depth and breadth of professional knowledge, the guide aims to meet the needs of clinical laboratory testing and parasitic disease prevention and control, comprehensively including human parasites discovered and developed in China and their detection techniques. New additions include methods for identifying parasitic species, the preparation and application of commonly used antigens in parasitic immune diagnostics, and the trichrome staining method for protozoa. It also adds descriptions of cross-sectional images of parasites in tissues and the morphology of parasite eggs in modified Kato-Katz slides, as well as simulated questions on parasitology. These additions will help students combine clinical practice to systematically master and familiarize themselves with the morphology of common human parasites, fundamental theories and basic knowledge of parasitology, and basic skills in parasitic experimental diagnostics. Therefore, the target users of this experimental guide are suitable for students in medical laboratory technology and preventive medicine programs, as well as clinical medicine students. It can also serve as a professional reference for clinical laboratory personnel and teaching and prevention personnel in the same field.
