Though HIV has mutated into human-exclusive strains when lodged in the organism, it has a zoonotic origin. According to research, this virus, which has caused the death of more than 39 million people worldwide, originated in chimpanzees in Africa, but human-ape contact led to its subsequent pandemic. Although yet to be eradicated, it has nevertheless been kept under control through therapeutic treatments and, especially, prevention. The unconventional aspect of the pathogens that cause zoonotic diseases can derive in devastating consequences to various systems in the human body, which can specifically result in immunodeficiency that can then lead to the proliferation of other parasites. 

In this context, medical professionals not only play a fundamental role in clinically treating these infections, but also act as agents of prevention by means of providing guidance and effective communication. TECH has developed a complete program that is perfect to bring specialists up to date on the latest developments in zoonotic and parasitic pathologies, including the most effective and innovative preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic strategies to date. A 6-month academic experience for our students to delve into the latest advances in the epidemiology of infectious diseases, focusing on zoonosis and mycosis. They will also be able to update their knowledge of multi-resistance and vaccines, and conduct an in-depth review of rare pathologies and the current challenges in the specialty of infectious diseases. 

To that end, students will benefit from 500 hours of theoretical, practical and additional material, presented in different formats: detailed videos, research articles, complementary readings, self-knowledge exercises, case studies, frequently asked questions, and dynamic summaries of each unit. Everything will be available on the Virtual Campus from the beginning of the academic experience, and can be downloaded to any device with an internet connection as a reference, even after the course has concluded and even if you do not have access to the Internet. So, TECH offers its students a flexible, convenient and complete course, perfect for medical specialists to catch up while they continue fulfilling their professional obligations. 

A comprehensive and dynamic program that will guide your knowledge update on the epidemiology of infectious diseases in current clinical practice” 

The postgraduate diploma in Zoonosis and Parasitosis contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features include:

  • Case studies presented by experts in infectious diseases in clinical practice 
  • The graphic, schematic, and practical contents with which they are created, provide scientific and practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional practice
