Offered: Every Spring
Student Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
1. demonstrate general knowledge of how viruses that infect humans replicate within cells, how the immune system interacts with viruses, how viral infections spread to other hosts, and how viruses are maintained in populations.
2. identify and describe viral morphological structures.
3. explain how different families of viruses replicate their genomes.
4. describe how viruses are propagated, visualized, and studied within a research laboratory setting.
5. describe how viruses interact with the immune system and will be able to explain how this relates to acute, chronic, and latent viral infections.
6. explain why major viral pathogens like smallpox, influenza, and HIV cause such severe disease in humans.
7. demonstrate an advanced understanding of viral infection and disease along with being able to understand the methods and conclusions from current viral research publications.
