Program Summary
Veterinary Pathology and Entomology is a course that focuses on the study of diseases in animals and the role of insects in animal health. It covers the causes, mechanisms, and effects of diseases on different organ systems in animals, as well as diagnostic techniques used to identify them. The course explores pathological changes at both the macroscopic and microscopic levels, including necropsy procedures, histopathology, and clinical pathology. It also includes the study of vectors, parasites, and insect-borne diseases affecting domestic animals and wildlife. Students learn about the biological and ecological aspects of insects, their interactions with hosts, and control measures to prevent disease transmission. The course integrates laboratory work, case studies, and practical applications to develop skills in disease diagnosis and insect identification. It is essential for understanding animal health, improving disease prevention strategies, and contributing to veterinary medicine, public health, and livestock management.
