Environmental Changes & Human Health 2012

Zoonotic and vector-borne diseases

This conference reflects the long-standing commitment of HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco, through His Foundation, and of the Institut Pasteur to understand and to mitigate the consequences of environmental changes on health. The primary objective of the conference is therefore to respond to the pressing need for a genuinely integrated vision of environmental changes and health challenges, and to promote a multidisciplinary dialogue among researchers from the biomedical and social sciences.
