| The general purpose of the lectures of the "Tronc commun" is to present the bacterial diseases of domestic animals in twelve chapters: neonatal period, nine different systems (digestive, repiratory, urinary, genital, nervous, musculo-skeletal, skin, eye, cardiovascular), systemic and septicaemic infections, and an introductory chapter on notifiable diseases. In each chapter, diseases are described for all domestic animals (large and small ruminants, pigs, dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and poultry), with emphasis on the bacteriological aspects. |

| During the lectures of the "Tronc commun", presentation of the bacterial diseases with emphasis on the bacteriological aspects: aetiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical signs, lesions, diagnosis, treatment, prophylaxis and public health aspects. During the lectures of the options, presentation of the specific aspects of bacterial diseases of the respective target animal species: diagnosis, treatment, prophylaxis, public health and notifiable diseases. |

|
| Prerequisites : |
| | Core curriculum |
|
| Very good knowledge of the content of other courses: pathology, histology, pharmacology, in relation with the bacterial diseases; and of course of the course of Bacteriology of the third year (especially chapters 5 to 9). |

|
| During the practicals ("Module paraclinique"), the students will receive more information concerning laboratory diagnosis of bacterial diseases and specific information to complement and to illustrate the lectures. |

| Assessment : |
| | Core curriculum |
|
| The evaluation comprises:
- a question with a long written answer on the bacterial diseases of the animal species within the chosen option (QROL)
- 20 questions with short answers on the "Tronc commun" (QROC)
- a multiple choice questionnary (20 questions) on the "Tronc commun"(QCM)
The practicals ("module paraclinique") will not be specifically marked, but the commitment of each student will be appreciated and can modulate the final note. In addition any student failing to take the practicals may be refused the evaluation in May/June. |
