Vaccinology
A.A. 2019/2020
Obiettivi formativi
The course aims to provide a comprehensive and integrated overview in the important field of vaccinology, from immunology to all types of vaccine development, production, delivery and effect evaluation, including also the approaches for plant transformation (GMO and production of heterologous proteins)
Risultati apprendimento attesi
The student is expected to reach the following results:
Theoretical learning
Gain knowledge on:
- Different types of veterinary vaccines and routes of vaccination
- Methodologies to prepare each type of vaccine, including oral vaccines
- Effects of vaccines in inducing specific and protective immune response
- Genetic modification of crops and medical molecular farming
- Key risk assessment and advantages of edible vaccines in veterinary medicine
Practical learning
- Know how to plan and prepare at least for phase 1 (in laboratory) a vaccine
- Know routes and time to perform vaccination
- Evaluation of genetically modified plants
- Ability to assess the effect of vaccination

Modalità di verifica dell’apprendimento e criteri di valutazione
The obtainment of the expected learning outcomes by the student are assessed by an oral examination based on questions with open answer and questions with closed answer, which include also the description of the practical activity.
The evaluation parameters include correctness of answer, comprehension of the topics of the program, ability to connect them and propriety of language.
The grade is expressed in thirtieths and it is communicated to the student immediately after the end of the oral exam.
