HOST-PARASITE RELATIONSHIPS IN VERTEBRATE VIRAL DISEASE

MM&I 740

Host-pathogen relationships in microbial diseases.

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.

ENTOM/ZOOLOGY 371

Explore the biological and molecular adaptations of parasitic arthropods that allow them to feed on vertebrate host and facilitate the transmission of vector-borne pathogens. Examines how anthropogenic activities, behaviors, and effects on climate affect the biology of vectors, the pathogens they transmit, and the emergence of vector-borne epidemics in the world. Emphasis on the molecular and physiological interaction between pathogens, their vector, and the vertebrate host and the fundamentals on how vectors and vector-borne pathogens cause disease in humans. Evaluate real control programs deployed globally for the control of vector-borne diseases.

MM&I/ONCOLOGY/PLPATH 640

The structure, multiplication, genetics, pathology and control of animal and plant viruses.

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.
