Learning unit contents :

| The biosecurity is the execution of the measures that reduce the risk of introduction (bioexclusion) and diffusion of pathogens (bioconfinement) outside facilities/health units, that prevent the human contamination (bio-prevention) and reduce the risk of survival of the pathogen in the environment (bio-contamination).
It demands the adoption of a set of attitudes and behaviours by people in a way to reduce the risk in veterinary public health in different sectors of activities. After a detailled introduction on biosecurity in general, each student perform a mini project of implementation of the biosecurity in the context of its country of origin and its sector of activities. |
