Abstract

The two-week course was attended by 50 Brazilian and foreign students, selected for their potential in the development of research in the area, and 26 speakers: 15 Brazilians (12 in the State of São Paulo) and 11 foreigners (Argentina, Australia, Canada, England, Scotland, and USA) with extensive scientific production in the knowledge area of the course. The event consisted of lectures, practical classes, presentations, discussion and technical visits to different teaching and research institutions. Due to its wide range and multidisciplinarity, the schedule was divided into four themes: "Genetics of host resistance to parasites", "Future prospects of techniques for target validation, drug and vaccine development and reversion of endoparasites resistance", "In vitro Methods for the diagnosis of and resistance to the prospect of new bioactive substances" and "New perspectives for the control of ectoparasites of ruminants", covering advanced areas in science and technology.
