They learn the immune response of the host, its protection against infectious diseases and the most important diagnostic methods. The main laboratory techniques and identification procedures are demonstrated at the practicals with the characteristics and identification of the most important viruses.<\/p> <p>Teaching is organised in lectures, plenary practicals, and small-group (18 students\/group) laboratory practicals.<\/p> <p>Veterinary virology is a mandatory course in the 4<sup>th<\/sup> semester of the international curriculum of UVMB, but due to the harmonisation with the curricula of veterinary schools in Germany, it is missing from the curriculum of the German class. If a student from the German class decides to continue the education at UVMB, the Veterinary virology course must be completed in the 6<sup>th<\/sup> semester on top of the other subjects, which causes the spring semester timetable to become even more complicated. Recognising the difficulty of the situation for both the students and the Department as a consequence, the Veterinary virology course is offered as an elective subject to the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> year German class to complete before the start of the 3<sup>rd<\/sup> year.<\/p> <p>Similarly to the previous year, in the 2023\/2024 academic year, the full 2<sup>nd<\/sup>-year German class has the opportunity to sign up for the Veterinary virology course. The benefits of completing the course are:<\/p> <ul> <li>in the 2nd year spring semester German curriculum, there is plenty of free time in which the Virology course can be easily and comfortably fitted;<\/li> <li>students can try the education in English;<\/li> <li>as an elective subject, the \u201cfirewall rules\u201d are not applied, therefore even if the exam conditions are met (i.e. practicals are completed and the semester closing signature is acquired), the exam can be postponed to the next semester in case of continuing the education at UVMB (however, passing the exam in the present semester makes the 3<sup>rd<\/sup> year exam periods easier);<\/li> <li>the elective \u201cVeterinary virology for German Students\u201d course is recognised as equivalent to the mandatory \u201cVeterinary virology\u201d course in case of continuing the studies at UVMB;<\/li> <li>in case of passing the exam and studies are continued at a veterinary school in Germany, exemption from Virology subject can be requested.<\/li> <\/ul> <p>&nbsp;<\/p> <p><strong>Teaching environment<\/strong><\/p> <p>The computer-aided lectures and plenary practicals are given in lecture halls determined by the timetable. At the lectures, Teams video (and, if possible, narrated PPT) is recorded and shared with the students in the Moodle system.<\/p> <p>The laboratory practicals are held at the practical room of the Department (1143 Budapest, Hung\u00e1ria krt. 23-25., at Pusk\u00e1s Ferenc Stadion subway station), where microscopes, laboratory equipment and computerised summaries help the understanding. The demonstration material is prepared in the Virology laboratory of the Department.<\/p> <p>&nbsp;<\/p> <p><strong>Recommended literature<\/strong><\/p> <ul> <li>The ICTV Report <a href=\"https:\/\/ictv.global\/report\/taxon\">https:\/\/ictv.global\/report\/taxon<\/a><\/li> <li>MACLACHLAN, N.
