Develop yourself in the booming medical field: By specializing in Microbiology, Genetics and Immunology of Tropical Diseases you contribute to the future development of antibiotics and vaccines to curb them"

Tropical diseases are infections that mainly affect regions with a warm and humid climate, and which are often economically, socially and healthily developing. Its diagnosis once it has been imported is key to prevent it from proliferating, as it can have fatal consequences at pandemic levels. 

Similarly, global warming has allowed mosquitoes, ticks and other insects carrying viruses or bacteria to proliferate, adapt to different seasons and invade new territories across Europe over the last decade.  Outbreaks of dengue fever have been reported in France and Croatia, malaria in Greece, West Nile fever in southeastern Europe, and Chikungunya virus in Italy and France. 

Europe’s climate is now well suited for the transmission of Lyme disease and tick-borne encephalitis (both contracted mainly through Ixodes ricinus), with an average of 65,000 cases of Lyme disease per year in the European Union, and a 400% increase in cases of encephalitis in European endemic areas over the past 30 years (partly due to improved surveillance and diagnosis).  In addition, improved climatic conditions for sandflies (the main carrier of leishmaniasis) could extend their geographic spread to southern parts of the UK, France and Germany by the late 2060s. 

Therefore, a specialization such as this postgraduate certificate in Microbiology, Genetics and Immunology of Tropical Diseases is necessary to focus on research and the development of responses to prevent contagion. Thus, the student who attends this program will acquire the knowledge, protocols and skills necessary for the detection, diagnosis and treatment of this type of diseases.
