In recent years, avian influenza, rabies, foot-and-mouth disease, African swine fever,
Lumpy skin disease and other important food animal- and wildlife-related infectious
diseases have attracted great attention from the government and industry. The
pathogen can use animals as the host to produce unpredictable mutations and
pathogenicity. Integrating and emphasizing the health concepts and interdependence
of animal, human and environment is the focus of disease prevention. When taking
this course, students will be able to study the epidemiology of the disease, the
transmission mode of human and animal diseases, the mechanism of infection, natural
hosts and vectors, diagnosis and prevention, and in-depth discussion and
understanding of the knowledge of alternative methods that can reduce the threat and
impact to human health. Students also need to collect and study the latest literature
and make special reports on some topics.
