Aetiology, epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical signs, diagnosis, treatment and prophylaxis. Diagnostic (through knowledge of clinical signs and laboratory results) of livestock parasitic diseases, prophylactic and therapeutic treatments, diagnostic of parasitic diseases with zoonotic potential and public health importance, collection of samples and techniques of diagnostic (coprology, haematology, dermatology, serology, urology, identification of intermediate hosts, larvae in pastures). Quantitative coprological methods (McMaster and Mini FLOTAC), enrichment (flotation), sedimentation, coproculture, Baermann method, blood and faecal smears. Discussion of clinical cases and reports of laboratorial activities.

Objectives

The theoretical part allows students to learn about Animal Health related to Parasitic Diseases from livestock (ruminants, birds, swine, horses, fish, and bees). The practical part allows students to have a close contact with the theoretical concepts during the semester, resulting in better and more consolidated acquisition of skills. In practical classes, students should apply the knowledge obtained during theoretical classes through the accomplishment of laboratorial techniques, clinical cases analysis and writing reports. 

Teaching methodologies and assessment

Expositive lectures using audio-visual means. The assessment methodology follows the rules present un the ULHT regulation concerning knowledge assessment. The theoretical component has a weight of 50% in the the final grade. The student is approved in the theoretical assessment with a minimum of 9,5 values out of 20.  Practical classes are laboratorial ones, with discussion of clinical cases and research of information in scientific articles, in the context of supervised self-learning. Theoretical assessment is carried out through two written exams. Continuous practical assessment is carried out with one exam on clinical cases (30%), two group reports from laboratorial classes (30%), and by the presentation of a work group (40%).
