Veterinary microbiology

Veterinary microbiology is the study of tiny organisms, like bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, that can infect animals. It helps veterinarians understand how these microorganisms cause diseases, how they spread, and how to prevent or treat infections in animals. This field is essential for maintaining animal health, preventing zoonotic diseases that can transfer to humans, and developing vaccines or medications. By studying these microorganisms, veterinary microbiologists contribute to effective disease control, ensuring animals live healthier, healthier lives and protecting public health.
