Suggestions on
Preparation and
Review
Cultivate an interest in infectious diseases discussed in newspapers and in the news; voluntarily research why these infections pose problems. It is advisable to study the human diseases that you have had so far. Similar diseases will increase your understanding, as animals also have them. Lastly, rather than memorizing the items learned in class, understand their applicability in implementing countermeasures against infectious diseases to humans and animals by reviewing the characteristics of each pathogen.
