- Contents
- The program consisted on the administration of case studies or case study simulations that could be useful to stimulate the student's ability to manage under the diagnostic point of view parasitic diseases disease diagnostic procedures.
- Reference texts
- Illustrative material useful to learn to recognized the most important parasitic biologic forms will be given through presentations formulated by the Professor and saved in a specific folder titled "Guide to the morphological identification of the main parasites of the dog, cat and horse" downloadable at the "Unistudium" platform (link "https://www.unistudium.unipg.it/unistudium/login/index.php), both in collections available at the Educational Class of the Ex-Section of Parasitology.
The handbook recommended for the course "Parasitology and Parasitic Diseases of Domestic Animals" is very useful.
Genchi M., G. Traldi, Genchi C .: Manual of Veterinary Parasitology. 2010 - Educational objectives
- To let the students to acquire a better autonomy with the main techniques applied to the diagnosis of parasitic diseases of veterinary interest and with the morphometric identification keys of parasitic biological forms.
- Prerequisites
- Prerequisites basing on the to Regulation LM42:
a) Frequency signature of the Course of "Parasitology and Parasitic Diseases of Domestic Animals";
It could be useful to follow with maximum profit the course to have passed the exam of "Parasitology and Parasitic Diseases of Domestic Animals". - Teaching methods
- ¿The course will be held entirely in the Didactic Laboratory of the Ex- Section of Parasitology by the Professor. Daily the Professor will administrate n. 4 clinical cases of parasitological interest collected at OVUD. The Professor will stimulate the construction of a diagnostic algorithms and allow the students to analysis of biological samples obtained from case studies using the most appropriate parasitic diagnostics techniques. The final part of each lesson the Professor and the students will observe together at microscopy the parasitic forms detected, in order to arrive at the correct morphological identification. Students could consult procedure manuals and identification manuals that may help them in both the diagnostic tests and the etiological diagnosis of the detected parasitic biological forms.
- Other information
- Recommended Optional Training Units:
-ADE of "Diagnosis of parasitic diseases"
-ADE of "Management of parasitic diseases of pets and horses" - Learning verification modality
- The last two hours of the course will be dedicate to verify the student's ability to recognize parasitic biologic forms. The practical test will consist in the recognition of parasitic specimens from biological material taken from animals suffering from different parasitic diseases. At each student will be given 6 parasitic specimens; to obtained the CFU the student have to correct recognize of at least 4 of the 6 specimens.
