College of Public Health, Medical & Vet Sciences |
Available to graduate students with a degree in Veterinary Science (other appropriately
trained graduates may enrol at the discretion of the Director of the Australian Institute
of Tropical Veterinary and Animal Science).
This is a student-orientated course that seeks to build on undergraduate knowledge
in the fields of veterinary microbiology and immunology. It is structured around six
main themes/sessions that deal with: - Host-parasite interactions at a cellular and
molecular level; - Tests used to detect infectious agents and the immune response
to these agents; - Application of tests in the diagnosis and management of infectious
diseases.
Learning Outcomes
- discuss the animals host's immune response to infectious agents and apply this knowledge
to predict how to diagnose and correctly select immunoprophylaxis of a particular
disease;
- use your knowledge of the key features of immunopathology of important and common
diseases across a range of animal species to predict the pathogenesis and pathology
of those diseases;
- select the most appropriate procedures for sample collection and sample handling to
ensure that laboratory results are optimal;
- analyse and select and interpret the most optimal diagnostic tests, both patient-side
and in the laboratory available for important and common diseases in a range of animals;
- map test results with other epidemiological features of a disease in order to predict
infectious or parasitic agent spread and origin.
