A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Definition and terminology of animal disease

Animal disease is a pathological condition in an animal caused by a disease agent or a malfunction of the animal’s own systems. Understanding the precise terminology—disease, disorder, syndrome, sign, symptom, agent, reservoir, vector, enzootic, epizootic, zoonotic—is essential for correctly diagnosing, reporting and controlling disease outbreaks in veterinary practice and for answering exam questions accurately.
