Chap 7. Perspectives in animal Virology |
|
| Course objective : | The course consists in giving the veterinary students the biological background needed to the understanding of viral diseases, taught in master classes.
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. |
|
| Prerequisites : | immunology, biology, cytology, biochemistry. |
|
| Workshops : | Laboratory of virology: practicals on virological methods ; to bring a scientific calculator; practical exercices are carried out on floor 0 of building B43b. |
|
| Organization : | 13 hours of course in amphitheatre.
The interactive lectures are largely illustrated by a computer-assisted presentation.
The teacher is at the disposal of the students to answer the questions at the end of the lecture.
Workshop: 8 hours. |
|
| Written notes : | Lecture notes on veterinary virology |
|
| Assessment : | The written examination comprises open questions requiring short and precise answers, within the boxes drawn on the sheet.
