Advanced knowledge on the diagnosis, treatment and Infectious and Parasitic Diseases in Ruminants in a high intensity and flexible course"

This Postgraduate certificate addresses general considerations for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases in general, including laboratory diagnostic tests available for their diagnosis, antimicrobial treatments and the development of resistance, the use of vaccines and the application of biosecurity and control measures. Additionally, the main notifiable and highly contagious, emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases, including those of viral, bacterial, fungal and prion etiology, are reviewed. The topics are organized by the species they affect, bovine or small ruminants, where specific considerations for their treatment and prevention are also included. 

In the second part of the module, the main parasites affecting ruminants are analyzed, detailed according to the species they affect. Additionally, it addresses the prevention and treatment of the main parasitic diseases including diagnostic techniques, therapeutic principles, development of resistance, and management and control programs.
