Pestpodden

Jørgen og Ingrid snakker seg gjennom tropesykdommen leishmaniasis - helt fra sandfluenes hemmelige liv, videre til diagnostikk og behandling. Vi får god hjelp av professor Bjørn Blomberg og doktor Zikre Gebremariam.

We meet Paul Garner (prof. emerit. and one of the founding fathers of Cochrane) and Rebecca Kuehn (Cochrane infectious diseases) for a talk about evidence-based medicine, critical appraisal and all things related to how we interpret and find the "truth" within research.Resources:1.

This is the "all-english"-version of the filaria-episode: Pestpodden presents a tropical topic that many of us struggle with understanding: filarial nematodes. Professor Mark Taylor - one of the worlds leading experts on filarial nematodes - guides us through this difficult topic - and presents some breaking research-news at the end of the episode.

Tropisk episode! Pestpodden snakker om filarioser med professor Mark Taylor - en av verdens ledende eksperter innen feltet. Dette er en faglig tung episode, men er du tropemedisinsk interessert og har lyst til å lære mer - så er dette episoden for deg! I tillegg presenteres noen "breaking news" fra forskningsverdenen mot slutten av episoden som du kan glede deg til.

Ingrid og Jørgen snakker (mest) løst og (litt) fast om parasitter og vertskap. Fra zombiesoppen i serien "The last of us", drar vi på vandring videre gjennom noen av verdens (ekte) parasitter.
