This subject explores the control of diseases on a large scale and the role of animal health surveillance in maintaining the health of human populations. Students will learn about integrated approaches to infectious disease control in animal populations, as well as the epidemiological and biological basis of the methods that are used.
Intended learning outcomes
On completion of this subject, students should be able to:
- Analyse and implement different techniques used to detect and prevent disease outbreaks
- Compare strategies to monitor and control infectious diseases in animal populations
- Evaluate how the biology of an infectious disease and the host animal impact how we can detect, prevent and control infectious diseases
- Communicate effectively the principles of animal health as they relate to diagnostic testing and disease control
- Examine how animals are used in research and industry to further understand infectious and non-infectious diseases
