Le paludisme reste un enjeu majeur de santé publique dans de nombreux pays à faible et moyen revenu. En 2018, l’OMS estimait à environ 228 millions le nombre de cas de paludisme, responsable de 405 000 décès principalement en Afrique subsaharienne. L’utilisation intensive des outils antipal...udiques disponibles a permis de réduire significativement la transmission dans de nombreuses régions endémiques au cours de la dernière décennie. Cependant, l’éradication du paludisme dans les zones à forte transmission reste une perspective lointaine.
Ce MOOC offre aux participants un aperçu complet des diverses disciplines et questions clés de la recherche sur le paludisme. Il aborde notamment la biologie cellulaire et moléculaire des parasites, la recherche clinique sur le terrain et en milieu hospitalier, les technologies génomiques avancées, la recherche translationnelle sur les nouveaux outils de lutte contre les parasites et vecteurs (médicaments, vaccins), l’épidémiologie du paludisme et la recherche clinique en santé publique. Le cours est accessible à toute personne intéressée par le paludisme, à condition de posséder une formation initiale en sciences de la vie.
Ce MOOC fait partie des MOOCs du Diplôme des Maladies Infectieuses de l’Institut Pasteur (DNM2IP).
