In this course students are introduced to the body's defense mechanisms against disease and students examine how the veterinary team contributes to building a healthy immunity in domestic animals. Emphasis is on key cells and body defense mechanisms of the immune system and how it develops. Through clinical examples, with an emphasis on Zoonotic diseases, students investigate mechanisms by which causative agents evade the immune system and create disease. Prerequisites: VTEC 1713 with a minimum grade of C, VTEC 1723 with a minimum grade of C , VTEC 1001 and VTEC 1011 Exclusions: ANHD 2150, VTEC 1230 and ANHD 1140
