Health, environment, and global changes

The major human and animal health challenges linked to global changes, namely:

• the degradation of natural environments, leading to a decline in the quality of natural resources (various forms of pollution) and a loss of biodiversity
• climate change
• the artificialization of living environments
• new therapeutic approaches
• globalization of trade
• the standardization of lifestyles

- Majors in L, L2, and L3 S5, including microbiology

- "Parasitic eukaryotes" (L2 S4) welcome but not mandatory

-----

This introductory EU is quite complementary to the "Parasitic Adaptations" EU, for which it proposes a possible thematic expansion.

The CCs will be available in the following formats:

- two simple assessments (fill-in-the-blank questions, multiple-choice questions) of basic concepts

- a written summary assessment at the end of the module
