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