Environmental stress and food chain: molecular approaches
A.Y. 2021/2022
Learning objectives
The course has the main objective of illustrating to students, through general concepts and analytical technologies, some paradigmatic examples relating to the impact of environmental stress on food-producing animals, with reflections on the biological dynamics and the relationship between parasites and their respective hosts, and on the food assessment processes.
Expected learning outcomes
The students are expected to acquire knowledge and analytical skills to interpret the impact of environmental stress in food-producing animals through the biomolecular and chemical analysis of a) changes in the proteome and parasite load in sensitive hosts, and b) indicators of the origin, quality and safety of food of animal origin
