| Course objective : |
| | partim virology |
|
| The course consists in giving the veterinary students the biological background needed to the understanding of viral diseases, taught in doctorat.
The veterinarian is confronted daily with viral infections. Their great diversity is partly due to the great number of animal species encountered in a veterinary practice. The study of these viral diseases requires a good knowledge of viruses, their biology in the infected cells and diagnostic methods. |
| | partim epidemiology |
|
| Applied animal epidemiology is a precious worktool for every veterinarian involved in the control and sanitary management of animal husbandries. |
|
|

| Assessment : |
| | partim virology |
|
| The written examination is organized simultaneously with theepidemiology examination. It comprises open questions requiring short and precise answers, within the boxes drawn on the sheet.
Questions of previous examinations are available at: http://www.ulg.ac.be/fmv/vir.htm |

|
| The written exam is organized simultaneously with the exam of general virology applied to veterinary medicine. It consists in questions and subquestions related to the course (one point for a correct answer).
The student will have a scientific calculator. |

| Remarks : |
| | partim virology |
|
| As the presence at the TD-TP is obligatory, the unjustified absence of a student can involve his inadmissibility to the examination at the end of the year, according to article 7 of the regulation on the organisation of the examinations.
The courses of general virology and epidemiology applied to veterinary medicine are brought together in only one examination. For each matter, the student gets a numerical evaluation (on 20). However, the student has to succeed in the two matters. |
| | partim epidemiology |
|
| § As the presence is required at the TD, a not justified student's absence can lead to the « irrecevabilité) to the final exam, as specified in the article 7 of the exam « règlement »
§ The courses of general virology and epidemiology applied to veterinary medicine are gathered in one exam. For each of these two courses, the student must pass both courses. |
