Objectives
This course uses an original and reversible approach to the relationship between the host and its pathogens. In particular, we will use the knowledge of infectious mechanisms and their subversion or escape strategies to understand the molecular, cellular and tissue activation pathways of our organism’s response to stress. This teaching at the interface between the fields of infectious diseases and immunology should favour a perspective of the complementarity of the knowledge of infectious cycles and the physiopathology of the organism. The crossed dialogues between bacteria, viruses, parasites, tumors and their host also make it possible to illustrate the contribution of knowledge in research in complementary fields.
