For additional description/details/information (limited to 41 characters)
(3 hours) Prerequisite: Admission to the MS Program. Zoonotic Diseases in Humans and Animals is a three credit lecture graduate course designed to introduce students to major zoonotic diseases. Discussion will include disease presentations, epidemiology, diagnostics, and treatment/control protocols. In addition, public health implications will be examined and therefore this course would be applicable to students entering any health-related field, including human and veterinary practitioners. One of the key features of diseases shared by humans and animals is their potential rapid spread around the world due to a mobile population and the swift movement of trade around the globe. This course, as a result, will offer a global perspective as well. This course cannot be challenged.
