GOOD PRACTICES AND OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY IN FIELD WORK AND ANIMAL HANDLING (2021-2022)
One of the characteristics of the current era is the speed of changes that affect everything from commercial and economic globalization to human health.
On the other hand, the interaction between human and animal health is not a new phenomenon, but the impact of animal-borne diseases (zoonoses) on human and animal populations worldwide is unprecedented.
The new context in which we find ourselves makes it necessary to adopt certain preventive measures that we did not take into account years ago. Measures to be taken by professionals working in the field or handling wild species.
The distribution limits of certain diseases, which until now were limited to specific areas of the planet, are being altered. This fact causes the global epidemiological situation is changing all over the planet.
Program:
- Module 1. A changing world
Global health
Global change, climate emergency
Biodiversity and health
environmental alterations
socioeconomic factors
(Re)emerging pathogens
Risk perception
Lessons Learned from the COVID19 Pandemic
Case studies
- Module 2. Working in aquatic environments

Arboviruses and vectors (ticks, mosquitoes)
Transmission of infectious agents in fish stocks
Transmission of infectious agents in amphibian populations
Case studies

- Module 3. Work in terrestrial environments
