The focus in this presentation is to expand the students’ knowledge about qualitative research in relation to global health. In continuation of this we will explain some of the most central methods used to generate qualitative research data.
Material Type: Lecture
This presentation provides a brief introduction to Lymphatic Filarias, hereby the lifecycle and treatment. Lymphatic Filariasis is a disease caused by infections with a mosquito born parasitic roundworm.
Material Type: Lecture
This presentation provides an introduction to the flariae parasite Onchocerca Volvus, which causes Onchocerciasis also known as river blindness.
Material Type: Lecture
The focus of this presentation is to expand the students’ knowledge about the geographic information systems, GIS for the malaria Elimination project. In continuation of this we will discuss mass drug administration and health infrastructure.
Material Type: Lecture
In this presentation we will answer the two following questions regarding the Mass Drug Administration (MDA) intervention. What are the feasibility of the intervention and how can we monitor the evolution of Malaria and check whether or not the intervention had the expected impact?
Material Type: Lecture
This presentation provides an introduction to the Malaria Elimination task Force and their main objective, which is to develop and implement methods to eliminate Malaria rapidly.
Material Type: Lecture
The aim of this presentation is to expand the students’ knowledge about food borne Zoonotic Trematodes. In continuation of this we will focus on the lifecycle of the trematodes and how MDA (Mass Drug Administration) affects the trematodes?
Material Type: Lecture
This presentation focus’ on neglected Zoonoses and discuss’ the One Health approach, which aims to control the neglected Zoonoses and hereby attain optimal health for people, animals and our environment.
Material Type: Lecture
This presentation provides an introduction to antimalarial drugs, different treatment and prophylaxis strategies and an overview of which drugs and drug combinations that are currently in use.
Material Type: Lecture
This presentation provides an introduction to antimalarial drug resistance. First we will focus on how drug resistance is observed and measured. Thereafter we will describe the historical emergence and spread of drug resistance. Third we will focus on molecular aspects of drug resistance, the so-called molecular markers and finally we will describe how we can use our knowledge regarding these molecular markers in the surveillance of drug resistance and eventually help in guide us in the decision-making when developing new drug policies.
Material Type: Lecture
In this presentation we will provide a brief overview of the life cycle of the malaria parasite, and hereby introduce the precise terms for the various phases.
Material Type: Lecture
This presentation provides an introduction to the eye disease, Trachoma. Trachoma is a serious health problem in low income countries, causing much suffering and blindness among the poorest populations in 52 countries worldwide. In continuation of this, we will talk about the epidemiology of Trachoma and provide a description of the disease, the risk factors, transmission modes, preventive strategies and interventions including mass drug administration.
Material Type: Lecture
In this presentation, we will talk about bacteria, and the two life forms planktonic and biofilm growing bacteria. In continuation of this we will explain the difference between planktonic and biofilm growing bacteria.
Material Type: Lecture
In this presentation, we will discuss how bacteria are causing disease. Furthermore, we will introduce the student to the term pathogenesis, and in continuation of this present the four main steps, that causes pathogenesis.
Material Type: Lecture
The aim of this presentation is to expand the student knowledge about biofilm properties. In continuation of this, we will present different models for testing and study a biofilm, hereby: the crystal violet assay, filter biofilm, the semi solid model, and the flow-cell system
Material Type: Lecture
this presentation focuses on host response to biofilm infection. In continuation of this, we will go through the different types of host response to infections, which consists of at least three components: the non-inflammatory defense, the immune response and the inflammatory response.
Material Type: Lecture
In this presentation we will focus’ on host response to chronic infections. In continuation of this, we will talk about the polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs), the respiratory burst and reactive oxygen species (ROS).
Material Type: Lecture
In this presentation, we will introduce the mechanisms involved in the tolerance of biofilms to antibiotics. In continuation of this, we will talk about specific tolerance mechanism, oxidative stress and the development of mutational resistance.
Material Type: Lecture
this presentation focuses on the problems of treating chronic infections. Furthermore, we will discuss why the host defense seems to be not working probably. In continuation of this, we will discuss whether the problem with chronic infections will increase over the years.
Material Type: Lecture
In this presentation, we will introduce Oral Biofilms, such as the dental biofilm, also known as dental plaque. The dental biofilm is associated with some of the most well known oral diseases like caries and periodontal disease but it also has beneficial effects.
