| The goal | Student should be informed on the basic principles and elements of the epizootical work in order to properly define epizootical studies, to follow distribution and monitor during research work on infectious diseases of animals. Student should acquire knowledge on how to work and analyze epizootical data and to define epizootical measures to control and eradicate infectious diseases of animals. | |||
| The outcome | To define basic epizootical determinants in order to follow parameters that are important for epizootia occurrence, distribution, control and eradication, analysis of the data, defining spatial and temporal epizootias as well as enzootias distribution, define basic principles of the contingency planning, basic principles diagnostic test results analysis, defining interrelationship between events in epizootiology, formulation of the epizootical models and health schemes as well as risk analysis, control and protection from epizootias and general principles of protection from bioterrorism. | |||
