Study Programmes 2016-2017
VDOC0065-1  
Pathologie des maladies infectieuses
Duration :
15h Th, 15h Pr
Number of credits :
Doctoral training in veterinary sciences3
Lecturer :
Mutien-Marie Garigliany
Language(s) of instruction :
French language
Organisation and examination :
All year long
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite :
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents :
The course will address the pathogeny of lesions associated with infectious diseases, at the macroscopic, microscopic and molecular levels. It also reviews and details the methods used in pathology of infectious diseases.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit :
The aim of the course is to make the student familiar with the morphological and functional alterations (lesions) underlying infectious diseases. In particular, the emphasis will be put on the pathogeny of such diseases and on the methods used for their study and diagnosis. The anticipated learning outcome is the ability to summarize these concepts when facing a case.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills :
Courses of histology, anatomy, physiology, general and systemic pathology and infectiology given during the cursus of veterinary education.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
The course includes two parts:
  • The theoretical course (15h)
  • Practical exercises, in part in the laboratory, in part in the necropsy room
Practical exercises (15h) can be tailored according to the student's aim to focus on macroscopic (necropsy), microscopic (histopathology) or molecular (molecular biology) methods applied to the pathology of infectious diseases.
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
Face-to-face
Recommended or required readings :
Power point course notes: eCampus
Suggested reference books:
  • Pathology of Domestic Animals, 6th edition. Jubb, Kennedy & Palmer, Eds. Saunders, 2015
  • Pathologic Basis of Veterinary Disease, 5th edition. Zachary & McGavin, Eds Mosby, 2012
Assessment methods and criteria :
The evaluation will take the form of an oral examination. The student is expected to present a series of cases studied during the practical exercises, in the light of concepts detailed in the theoretical lessons.
