Examen de Pathologie et Parasitologie

Examen de Pathologie et Parasitologie

• Zoonozes et transmission: Students are asked to identify 4 zoonotic diseases, their causative agents, transmission routes, clinical signs, and preventative measures. This includes information on giardiasis, leishmaniosis, rabies, and toxoplasmosis.

• Maladies virales et parasitaires: A case study of a 15-day-old calf with diarrhea and apathy is presented. Students need to identify 3 viral and 3 parasitic etiological agents which might be involved. Furthermore, preventative measures for these suspected illnesses, such as isolating the calf and mother from the rest of the herd, proper colostrum intake, vaccination, and parasite control are important.

• Maladies hormonales: A table requires completion with information about Cushing's disease and hyperthyroidism in animals (signalment, affected organs, cause of the disorder, and key symptoms).

• Grippe virale (Influenza A): Students are asked about animal species vulnerable to influenza A viruses, the risk of transmission to humans for various animal-specific strains, and preventive strategies regarding such diseases.

• Écoparasites (p.e. Puces): Students are asked about a scenario involving a pet cat with an ectoparasite infestation. The identified ectoparasite, potential adverse effects on the animal health (due to the ectoparasite), and any necessary preventative measures are requested.

• Maladies virales chez le furet: A question specifically addresses a viral cause of profuse, green, and slimy diarrhea in ferrets.

• Conséquences d'ingestion de mollusques (escargots) chez le chien: The potential negative consequences (animal illnesses) and the parasite involved, host-interactions and preventive behaviors are to be identified.

• Maladies animales: Students need to identify specific animal diseases and their causative agents, relevant preventive measures, and specific clinical signs or symptoms.

• Ectoparasites and Transmission: Some questions discuss the transmission of certain zoonotic vectors and the parasites they transmit and, by extension, important preventative behaviors. (e.g., fleas and the transmission of diseases via their saliva).

• Schémas vaccinaux: The recommended vaccination schedule for canine herpesvirus infection is required; this involves understanding vaccination timing before and after birth, taking into account different factors concerning the animal's age and specific stages of life (pre-birth, postpartum...).

• Maladie d'Aujeszky: Recognition of susceptible animal species, particularly focusing on swine, ruminants, and canines (pseudo-rabies).

• Parasites and Host-Interactions: Additional questions require identification and analysis of host-interactions with disease vectors and parasites.

Ce quiz couvre divers aspects de la pathologie et parasitologie animale, y compris les zoonoses, les maladies virales, parasitaires et hormonales. Les étudiants doivent identifier les agents causatifs et les mesures préventives pour différentes conditions. Des études de cas pratiques renforcent la compréhension des maladies chez les animaux.
