Schedule
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
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
