Künzli (Head of the Department Epidemiology and Public Health, Swiss TPH). I teach since 2008 18 lecture
hours in the Masters’ in Epidemiology and 20 in the Bachelor ‘Blockkurs’ Infection Biology and Epidemiology
of the University of Basel. I also have since 2008 a 4 hours course on livestock keeping in the tropics in the
