ANSC 3700
Immunology in Animal Health and Disease
This course offers a comprehensive overview of the immune system, from its fundamental components to its intricate responses to various threats. The curriculum begins with a foundation in the diverse mechanisms underlying both innate and adaptive immune responses. Students will then engage in case-based studies that integrate and advance both fundamental and applied aspects of immunology, tailored to the essentials of pre-veterinary and production agriculture students.
Topics
- Explain the role of the immune system and identify the types of threats it defends against.
- Analyze the roles of different immune cells and their modalities in maintaining immunity.
- Correlate different mechanisms in an immune response to the various pathogen classes and other triggers.
- Discuss the mechanisms behind vaccines and immune-based treatments.
- Apply core immunological principles to understand veterinary cases of diseases/disorders.
- Cultivate informed perspectives regarding applied immunology in domestic animals.
