Module description
***This module is under development***
In an era marked by unprecedented migration due to violent conflicts, climate hazards and the ease of international travel, diseases that were once confined to specific regions can now rapidly cross borders, causing widespread morbidity and challenging public health systems. In this module you will explore the molecular biology and control of infections, focusing on those prevalent in tropical regions but less known in Western contexts. Through an in-depth examination of parasitic infections, vector biology, and the immune responses elicited in the human host, this module aims to prepare future scientists to contribute to the prevention, diagnosis, and management of infectious diseases worldwide.
