IBA invites NDPIA members to their Principles of Infection Biology course

Where: MH2, UiT – The Arctic University of Norway, Tromsø

This course aims to provide a thorough background in basic concepts of infection biology spanning the disciplines of host-parasite interaction and infections caused by bacteria, eukaryotic microbes and viruses.

International speakers of renown and national experts will deliver lectures on:

• Fundamental concepts of infection biology and “virulence”
• Molecular mechanisms of microbial pathogenesis
• Experimental approaches and modern methodologies
• Genomic perspectives on pathogen evolution and epidemiology
• Current and future challenges in infection biology

Suggested ECTS: 2 ECTS. This must be discussed with your univeristy. You will receive a certificate stating the suggested ECTS, your attendance and the workload.

Submit your abstract by May 2

When:
7 – 10 June, 2022

Where:
Minor Groove, Umeå University

What:
The aim of this NDPIA course is to provide an in depth understanding of pathogen-vector interaction and transmission dynamics of mosquito-borne pathogen. It will provide better understanding of mosquitoes as vectors of arboviruses and parasites most of which are zoonotic in nature and affect both humans and animals. The course will include various aspects of the mosquito vector including; ecology, biology, population genetics, competence, capacity and how these factors influence transmission to the susceptible host. The course will also cover vector surveillance, identification, diagnostics, prevention and control, as well as application of high-throughput sequencing platforms in virus discovery.

Suggested ECTS:
1.5 ECTS. This must be discussed with your University. You will receive a certificate stating the suggested ECTS, your attendance and the workload.
