22402257 GENERAL AND APPLIED ANIMAL VIROLOGY in Biology for Molecular, Cellular and Physiopathological Research LM-6 (professor to define)
(syllabus)
THE COURSE DESCRIBES AND COMPARES THE REPLICATION CYCLES OF DIFFERENT ANIMAL VIRUSES THAT INFECT VERTEBRATE HOSTS TO GAIN INSIGHT INTO: ORIGIN OF VIRUSES, STRUCTURE, EVOLUTION, VIRUS-CELL INTERACTIONS, HOST DEFENSE MECHANISMS AND STRATEGIES OF VIRAL IMMUNOEVASIONS, METHODS OF DETECTION, IDENTIFICATION AND TITRATION, ANTIVIRAL DRUGS AND PROFILAXIS OF VIRAL INFECTIONS. IN PARTICULAR, IT WILL BE DESCRIBED VIRUSES OF THE FOLLOWING VIRAL FAMILIES: PICORNAVIRIDAE, ORTOMIXOVIRIDAE, PARAMIXOVIRIDAE, RABDOVIRIDAE, RETROVIRIDAE, HEPADNAVIRIDAE, FLAVIVIRIDAE, PARVOVIRIDAE, POLIOMAVIRIDAE, PAPILLOMAVIRIDAE, ADENOVIRIDAE, HERPESVIRIDAE, POXVIRIDAE. IN ADDITION INTRODUCTION TO APPLIED VIROLOGY WILL BE PROVIDED (i.e., VACCIN DEVELOPMENT, VIRAL VECTORS AND ONCOLYTIC VIRUSES)
