Organization and general classification of animals. Deepening of aspects of systematics and morpho-functional adaptations of the main Animal Phyla of medical and pharmaceutical interest as: parasites; producers of functional substances for the animal itself but also of health interest (for example substances dangerous to humans, or potentially useful for the production of medicines); transmission agents of pathogens and parasites of interest to the human species (zooanthroponosis and anthropozoonosis).
