The goal is the study of the most important and most frequently occurring parasitic and infectious diseases of companion animals from the point of view of geographical distribution, etiology, epizootiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, course and clinical manifestations, pathological-morphological changes, diagnosis, disease prevention. The main emphasis is placed on biological aspects and correct diagnostic methods in parasitology and infectious diseases. The subject is divided into two units (parasitic and infectious diseases) based on the knowledge gained during the study of basic laboratory methods and the basics of microbiology, parasitology and immunology. It focuses on the study of helminthiasis, protozoan diseases and ectoparasites, bacterial, viral and fungal diseases of dogs, cats, small mammals, reptiles, birds and horses. |
