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.
