The Basic Veterinary Parasitology course is mandatory. Basic veterinary parasitology studies parasites that affect domestic and wild animals. Areas of study include life cycles, transmission, diagnosis, treatment, and control of parasites. A wide range of parasites include protozoa, helminths (worms), arthropods (e.g., fleas and mites), and other organisms that live in or on animal hosts.
Basic veterinary parasitology is essential for diagnosing and treating parasitic infections in animals. This involves understanding the different species of parasites that affect other types of animals, the signs and symptoms of parasitic infections, and the methods used to diagnose and treat them.
In basic veterinary parasitology, students learn about various parasites' life cycles and transmission, including their intermediate and definitive biology and behavior. Basic veterinary parasitology is essential for veterinarians, veterinarians, and other animal health professionals to prevent, diagnose, and treat parasitic infections in animals, which can significantly impact animal health, productivity, and public health.
This course is carried out through lectures, practicums, discussions in small groups (SGD), and assignments. According to the learning material, small group discussions (SGD) discuss a case. Assessment is carried out through UAS, UTS, Quizzes, Assignments, Presentations, Practicum (pre-test & post-test), Responses, and case discussions (SGD) activities.
