BIOL 5161 Molecular Virology

Prerequisite: BIOL 2100 with a C or better. This course provides an overview of the structure and molecular biology of viruses (classes I-VII) and subviral particles known to exist. Major modes of infection of these viral and subviral agents in host organisms and the pathogenesis they cause in their hosts are surveyed. Basic laboratory methods will be applied in the lab to develop a better understanding of how virology research and diagnostics occurs.
