Le paludisme (FUN)

Le paludisme (FUN)

Le but de ce cours est de répondre à toutes les interrogations que soulèvent le paludisme. Il s’agit de faire un véritable état des lieux sur la maladie, le parasite, les moustiques, les traitements existants, les moyens de luttes, les précautions à prendre avant de voyager en zone d’endémie, mais aussi sur les avancées de la recherche et sur les vaccins.

Ce MOOC est organisé en 6 semaines. Pour les apprenants, le temps de travail hebdomadaire est de une heure. Outre les vidéos qui composent le cours, les étudiants auront à disposition des documents supplémentaires (textes du cours en français et en anglais, tableaux, shémas, cartes, vidéos annexes).

Plan du cours

Semaine 1. Introduction - Les Anophèles
Un module vidéo introductif afin de vous présenter la globalité du MOOC mais aussi le lien historique étroit entre la ville de Marseille et les maladies infectieuse. S'en suit un second module pour découvrir les Anophèles, moustiques vecteurs du paludisme.

Semaine 2. Les parasites et le cycle parasitaire - La maladie en zone endémique - Répartition géographique du paludisme
Une présentation des principaux parasites responsables du paludisme ainsi que leurs modes de développement chez l'Homme et le moustique. Qu'en est il du paludisme dans les régions du globe sévèrement frappées par ce fléau? Enfin, un point complet sur la présence et le développement de la maladie sur la planète.

Semaine 3. Le diagnostic biologique (Partie I et II) - Le traitement du paludisme
Deux modules pour présenter les différents outils de diagnostic allant des méthodes conventionnelles aux techniques innovantes, dont nous disposons au laboratoire et sur le terrain pour identifier le plasmodium, parasite responsable du paludisme. Enfin, un tour d'horizon des divers traitements existants à ce jour.

Semaine 4. La résistance aux antipaludiques - la lutte en zone tropicale
Si les traitements de la maladie connaissent des évolutions constantes, les parasites témoignent de surprenantes facultés d'adaptation. Comment s'organise la lutte contre le paludisme dans les pays gravement touchés?

Semaine 5. Le paludisme d'importation - La prévention du paludisme chez les voyageurs
Le paludisme peut atteindre les voyageurs, touristes, businessman, ou militaires qui se sont rendus là où sévit le paludisme. Deux modules vidéos pour vous permettre de reconnaître et de traiter le paludisme d'importation mais aussi ce qu'il faut comprendre et savoir mettre en œuvre pour se protéger efficacement contre les piqûres de moustiques et le paludisme au cours d’un voyage en zone à risque.

Semaine 6. Actualité sur les vaccins contre le paludisme - Les acteurs de la lutte contre le paludisme - La surveillance et la recherche: l'exemple de l'IRD au Sénégal
Où en est la recherche sur les vaccins contre le paludisme? Quelles sont les organisations qui planifient la lutte contre la maladie, comment sont elles organisées. Et pour finir, au coeur de l'IRD à Dakar, découvrez un exemple concret de ce qu'il se passe au niveau de la recherche sur le paludisme et de la surveillance de la maladie.

Epidemics - the Dynamics of Infectious Diseases (Coursera)

Not so long ago, it was almost guaranteed that you would die of an infectious disease. In fact, had you been born just 150 years ago, your chances of dying of an infectious disease before you've reached the tender age of 5 would have been extremely high. Since then, science has come a long way in understanding infectious diseases - what they are, how they spread, and how they can be prevented. But diseases like HIV/AIDS, Malaria, Tuberculosis, or the flu are still major killers worldwide, and novel emerging diseases are a constant threat to public health. In addition, the bugs are evolving. Antibiotics, our most potent weapon against bacterial infections, are losing their power because the bacteria are becoming resistant. In this course, we'll explore the major themes of infectious diseases dynamics.

Immunology: Immune System and Infectious Diseases (Coursera)

The constant struggle between pathogens and the human immune system has been posing a significant threat to our health for thousands of years. Infectious diseases remain the leading cause of death worldwide. These are typically caused by bacteria (intra- and extracellular), viruses, fungi, parasites (worms/helminths) and prions. Under normal circumstance, the immune response orchestrates a robust protection against these pathogens using both molecular and cellular mechanisms. This usually leads to direct or indirect inactivation of the infectious agent, so the disease symptoms may not appear.

Cancer Biology (saylor.org)

Cancer has existed among humans since humans themselves began and has been a subject of urgent interest from very early in our history. What we call “cancer” consists of a number of different diseases with one fundamental similarity: they are all initiated by the unchecked proliferation and growth of cells in which the pathways and systems that normally control cell division and mortality are absent.

Assessing and Improving Community Health (Coursera)

This course is intended to serve as an introduction to population health from both the vantage point of both public health and healthcare. We will examine the key components of community health needs assessments, how they are used, and how to compare population health assessments across subpopulations and time. We will also explore the epidemiological sources and criteria by which to select high quality data sources to estimate population health indicators and to select evidence-based interventions to improve population health. Finally, we will design multi sector collaborations that support the phases of population health improvement.
