Veterinary Microbiology
VETS3040
Veterinary Microbiology encompasses veterinary bacteriology, virology, and mycology. This unit of study uses clinical cases and research studies to 1) explore the unique features of these infectious agents, 2) explore their role in the development of animal disease; 3) critically analyse the strategies used for their diagnosis, treatment and control; and 4) encourage an evidence based approach to investigating clinical problems. Veterinary microbiology is based on an understanding of the structure and function of bacteria, viruses and fungi of veterinary significance as well as the pathological and immunological processes taught in Principles of Disease VETS2013. Veterinary Microbiology helps to prepare students for Animal Disease VETS3242, clinical subjects and life in veterinary practice.
