What will I learn?
The Amoeba Course gives you practical skills to detect, culture, and interpret free-living amoebae in water systems. Learn targeted sampling design, safe handling, and contamination control, then apply microscopy, PCR, sequencing, and immunological tools to identify pathogenic genotypes. You also practice simple chlorination, temperature, and virulence assays to translate results into clear, defensible public health recommendations.
