- Antimicrobial resistance
- Virulence
Teaching
I am responsible for organizing and teaching the Environmental Health course for students of veterinary medicine in the curriculum of veterinary medicine. Environmental Health is defined in the curriculum as a topic addressing biological, physical and chemical factors in the living environment, which may have an impact on human health at individual and population level.
Central teaching topics include:
• Microbiological and chemical quality of drinking water
• Safety of indoor and outdoor swimming
• Indoor and outdoor air quality
• Waste handling
• Strategies and policy to protect regional and global environmental health
• Legislation in control of environmental health
