Learning outcomes
This course aims to give an overview about anthropozoonoses, as important diseases potentially transmissible from animals to humans, as well as their role within public and animal health. In particular, the most relevant animal infectious diseases (viral, bacterial, parasitic, fungal) and foodborne diseases are discussed.
At the end of this course, the student will be able to know the major etiologic agents that cause antropoozonoses, their consequences, the biological cycle, the source of infection, the pathology, and the laboratory techniques aimed to diagnose them.
Program
The program is the following:
1. Introduction to antropozoonoses
a. Classification of antropozoonoses
b. Human/animal interface
c. Factors influencing diseases dynamics
- Urbanization
- Climate changes
- Food habits
- Migrations
- International tourism
- Xenotrapiants
- Sanitary profilaxes
2. Parasitic zoonoses
a. Cestodes
- Teniasis and Cysticercosis
- Hidatidosis
b. Nematodes:
- trichinosis
- anisakidosis
c. Protozoa:
- leishmaniosis
- toxoplasmosis
- giardiasis
- cryptosporidiosis
d. Diagnostic techniques
e. Prevention and control strategies
3.Viral zoonoses:
a. Avian Influenza
b. Rabies
c. West Nile Virus
d. Etiology
e. Epidemiology
f. Clinical symptoms
g. Diagnosis and control strategies
4. Bacterial zoonoses:
a. Salmonellosis
b. Campylobatteriosis
c. Yersiniosis
d. Listeriosis
e. Escherichia coli
f. Leptospirosis
g. Tuberculosis
h. Brucellosis
d. Etiology
e. Transmission and source of infection
f. Clinical syntoms
g. Diagnosis and control strategies
h. Food hygiene
5. Other zoonoses:
a. Tick borne diseases:
- Lyme disease (Borreliosis)
- Tick borne encephalitis
b. Mycosis
Each disease/etiologic agent will be thoroughly discussed through oral lectures.
Students that attend the course will receive the schedule of the entire module with dates, classroom, and subjects of each lession at their first lecture.
Students that do not attend the course will receive didatic support by the lecturer as well as updated study material.

| C.M. Hendriz, E. Robinson | Diagnostic Parasitology for Veterinary Technicians (Edizione 5) | Mosby | 2016 | 978-0-323-38982-2 | Diagnostic Parasitology for Veterinary Technicians fornisce informazioni chiare e concise sui parassiti interni ed esterni più frequenti in medicina veterinaria. I capitolo sono organizzati per tipo di parassita (nematodi, cestodi, trematodi, protozoi, artropodi,) e fornisce informazioni dettagliati su ciascun tipo con particolare enfasi sulla morfologia, ciclo biologico, parassiti rilevanti. Ciascun capitolo poi è suddiviso per specie ospite (cane, gatto, cavallo, ruminanti, suino, uccelli, animali da laboratorio). |

Include le caratteristiche principali dei batteri e funghi di importanza veterinaria e delle malattie che causano, inoltre comprende due capitoli sulla biologia molecolare, caratterizzazione genetica e la loro applicazione. |
Examination Methods
The exam consists in an oral examination.
The oral examination aims to verify the student's knowledge about the diseases in the program and his/her ability to recognize their importance e the suitable diagnostic protocols.
The oral examination is potentially about any subject of the program, with particular attention to the etiologic agent, biological cycle, sources of infection, importance, pathology, and diagnostic methods.
The score is up to 30 summa cum laudae.
