Course Title:
Animal Infectious Diseases
Course Number:
BMS3074
Course Description:
The purpose of this module is to provide students with a greater understanding of the scientific basis behind approaches to control animal infectious diseases that impact human health and safety. This involves detailed knowledge of the pathogen, its transmission routes, the host response to infection, realistic treatment and control measures, and its impact on other animals and/or the human population. As a FHEQ level 6 module, the students are expected to integrate and evaluate the importance of different types of information to generate an informed (and evidence-based) opinion about the problems or potential impacts of animal infectious diseases. The outcomes from this module closely align with those of the Degree Programme and enable the understanding of the concept of “One health” and the further study of “specific aspects of veterinary sciences and the[ir] interplay with human health.”
