Overview
Key Topics in Snakebite - Biology, Epidemiology, Pathology and Treatment from Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine uses lectures to provide core information, tutorials for interactive discussion of topics raised in the lectures, and an intensive practical session linking methods of immunological analysis to snakebite treatment.
Students at Key Topics in Snakebite - Biology, Epidemiology, Pathology and Treatment from Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine will:
- gain in-depth knowledge and critical understanding of the key reasons why the rural poor in Africa and Asia suffer the highest rates of snakebite mortality and morbidity, and yet are so neglected by tropical governments and international health agencies.
- learn about the global snakebite disease burden, the main risk groups, the geopolitical factors that make snakebite one of the most marginalised of all the Neglected Tropical Diseases, and the attempts being made to increase the global recognition of snakebite as a tropical public health concern.
- discover how a fuller understanding of snakebite pathology, treatment and epidemiology can be gained from studies on molecular, biochemical, and immunological aspects of snake venoms and venomous snakes.
