Abstract:

The adoption of serious games (SGs) is rapidly growing with new applications emerging in medical education. SGs refer to games whose main content is to teach knowledge and skills, providing professional training and simulation. However, there are limited instances of applying such a paradigm to learning about parasite immunology. This study aimed to create a game to aid understanding of the principles of schistosomes’ immune evasion for a wide range of audiences and validated its effectiveness.
