GENERAL VIROLOGY-MULTIPLICATION OF VIRUSES

PATH-BIO 513

Introduction to basic concepts in virology and covers biology and pathogenesis of viral diseases of animals with an emphasis on viruses important to veterinary medicine.

PATH 750

Emphasizes current understanding of molecular and cellular mechanisms. Wherever possible, human diseases are used to illustrate the outcome at the organismal level of defects in these mechanisms. Focuses on different cell types and how cells function. We also discuss how cells talk to themselves and each other. Topics include mechanisms of cell survival and division. Provides an overview of a broad set of cell biology topics to demonstrate the breadth and diversity of cellular functions.

PATH 752

The emphasis is on our current understanding of molecular and cellular mechanisms. Wherever possible, human diseases are used to illustrate the outcome at the organismal level of defects in these mechanisms. Discussions focus on immunology and cancer biology. Topics include mechanisms of cell survival, cell division, signal transduction, gene expression, vesicular transport, autophagy and cell death. Explore a broad set of cell biology topics, in greater detail such that they will have a better understanding of the breadth and diversity of cellular functions by the end of the semester. Learn how to critically evaluate the literature and the rigor of research.

MM&I/PATH-BIO 750

Detailed study of the pathogenesis of vertebrate viral disease, stressing viral invasion, dissemination, mechanisms of disease production, immune pathology, persistence, resistance, and transmission.

BIOCHEM/MM&I 575

Broad coverage of animal virology taught at molecular level. Topics include virus structure, viral replication/lifecycle, aspects of pathogenesis and prevention.
