MICR 3200
(Active)
Emerging and Re-Emerging Diseases and Zoonoses 3.0 : 3.0 : 0.0 On Sufficient Demand Prerequisite(s):BIOL 1620 and (MICR 2060 or MICR 3450) Utilizes the most current infectious disease entities as examples for new (emerging) or old (re-emerging) diseases currently affecting mankind. Also discusses zoonotic diseases (those transmissible from animals to humans and vice-versa) in detail. Emphasizes the underlying mechanisms of disease, and includes fundamental aspects of virology, bacteriology, and parasitology. Also covers fundamental concepts in epidemiology, how the public health system deals with these diseases once they have been identified and instances where the public health system has failed in controlling these diseases and the reasons for these failures. Investigates historical aspects of infectious diseases. Requires a written paper and a presentation on the disease entity of the student's choosing. |
