Description
Adaptations to the "parasitic" way of life are studied on all parasitic organisms (viruses, bacteria, eukaryotes) by including different scales of analysis "from molecules to populations".
Thus, the coevolution between hosts and parasites will be considered from the point of view of host-parasite molecular and cellular dialogues (immunity-escape - exploitation of host resources...) but also from the point of view of morpho-anatomical structures involved in adaptation to the infra-host site or in survival in the external environment, and finally from the point of view of behavioral adaptations for the encounter with the host (favoring).
Necessary pre-requisites
For BE students,
- UE Eucaryotic parasites strongly recommended (but not required)
- major of L1 and L2, UE microorganisms
For Microbio students
- basic knowledge of Org Bio and Evolution in L1 and L2
-UE Eucaryotic parasites strongly recommended (but not required)

Targeted competencies
- A3-Know the different levels of organization from the organism to the biosphere and their interactions
- B5 - Know the relationships between genotype and phenotype (morpho-anatomy, behavior, interactions) and their evolution
-B10- Know how to interpret the phenotypes of organisms in evolutionary terms (relations between environments and adaptations)
