Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
1. Successful mastering of scientific-theoretical and practical material of academic disciplines taught to students of educational level "Bachelor" and special disciplines such as "Cellular Immunity", "Immunochemistry", "Reproductive Immunology", "Immunogenetics", "Immunopathology", "Natural resistance" and others. 2.

Course content
The discipline is a basic discipline that covers the interaction of the human and animal immune system with environmental factors, depending on from internal physiological changes, taking into account the life cycles of organisms. The main types of immunotropic environmental factors, their classification are considered and patterns of impact on the immune system of the individual and population immunity, principles and methods of immunoecological monitoring in its various levels and the prospect of its application in environmentally unfavorable living and working conditions.
