Description
The major human and animal health issues related to global change, i.e. :
- the degradation of natural environments, leading to the loss of quality of natural resources (various pollutions) and the loss of biodiversity
- climate change
- the artificialization of living environments
- new therapeutic methods
- the globalization of trade
- the standardization of lifestyles
Necessary pre-requisites
- L, L2, and L3 S5 majors including microbiology
- Eukaryotic parasites" (L2 S4) welcome but not required
-----
This opening course is quite complementary to the "Parasite Adaptations" course, and offers a possible thematic extension
