| Course contents : | The most important parasitic diseases according to their frequency in temperate areas, to their clinical impact or their zoonotic potential will be considered during the 40 hours dedicated to the compulsory part of the course. These parasitic diseases are described according to the host species: cattle, small ruminants, pig, poultry and rabbit, equines, dog, cat, new companion animals. For each host species the approach will be based on the different organic systems (the gut, the lungs, the skin, the blood...). After a short reminder about the pathogenic agent and its biology, the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical signs, diagnosis (including the differential), therapy and prophylaxis of each disease will be exposed. The students of the option "farm animals" will get an additional information on specific parasitic diseases of farm animals which are not included in the compulsory part. | |||||
| ||||||
| Course objective : | This course is dedicated to the study of parasitic diseases in domesticated animals. Additionally, some wild species are also dealt with due to their epidemiological or zoonotic impact. The main goal of the course is to provide the veterinarian to be with the necessary knowledges to reach a diagnosis and implement prophylactic and control measures for the main parasitic infections in the relevant host species. A great emphasis will be given to the prevention of parasitic diseases potentially transmissible to the human beings. | |||||
| ||||||
| Prerequisites : | The prerequisites are as follows: general parasitology (fifth year), pathology, pharmacology, immunology, bacteriology, virology, physiopathology and semiology. | |||||
| ||||||
| Workshops : | The practicals are organized to illustrate the lectures. The content is identical regardless of the option chosen by the student. This due to the fact that the pathogens which are dealt with are described in the compulsory part of the course. | |||||
| ||||||
| Organization : | The course is given over two semesters. The practicals are organized according to the host species. For each host species, each disease will be included in the compulsory or optional part of the course. | |||||
| ||||||
| Written notes : | The following volumes are available at the student printing unit: Veterinary Protozoology (1 vol.); Mycology (1 vol.); Veterinary Entomology (1 vol.); Veterinary Helminthology (2 vol.). Additionally, a copy of the Power Point Presentation is available. An illustrated CDRom dedicated to Veterinary Parasitology in temperate regions has been realized and will be used during the practicals or at home. | |||||
| ||||||
| Assessment : | The examination is composed of three parts: a practical examination (identification of different parasites under the microscope and of photographic documents), two assay questions and a series of 10 short questions (Yes/No or a few words) | |||||
