BIOL 504 - Emerging Infectious Diseases


3 Credits
Deals with the knowledge needed to better understand the factors contributing to the emergence and reemergence of infectious diseases and microbial resistance in a broad context, which may also include bio-warfare/bioterrorism.  A number of specific disease agents are studied.  These include viruses, bacteria, and eukaryotic organisms (excepting animal parasites such as helminthes).  An introductory course in microbiology and a course in epidemiology would be helpful preparation for this class, but are not required. 
Prerequisite(s): For those enrolled in the M.S. program, completion of either   or   is required.  For those matriculated in the Emerging Infectious Diseases Certificate Program, this should be the last class taken in the series.
