Global Biodiversity hot spot Climate changes Microbiota • The 6 Brazilian ecosystems, climate and humidity can create relevant conditions for the proliferation of vectors Impact on : migration of vectors, microbial resistance emerging or reemerging diseases transmission anthropological issues, land use, nutrition, water quality • Capitalizing ressources offered in the country and in the South American region contributing to the better appreciation of the genetic background, environment and microbiome in shaping host immune responses - Agreement on August 31 st , 2016 about the Scientific Strategy, « Microbes, Environment and Health »
Most specific Initiatives • Laboratory infrastructures, following strict biosafety and quality issues • Joint research programs & laboratories and mixed international units • Trilateral and multilateral innovative courses • Promotion of innovation leading to discovery of new products and processes in partnership with public and private industrial sectors
