Purpose of the activity (main topics to be addressed) Epidemiology and risk analysis. The course will start with basic notions in epidemiology (sectors, quantification, reports, indicator, rates). Will follow the detection of infectious animal diseases (true positives), investigations in descriptive epidemiology, epidemics, habitat and transmission of pathogens, methods available to fight against diseases, risk analysis and evaluation of animal health actions.
