This unit covers immunology, virology and bacteriology with respect to the interaction between infectious agents and their hosts. Emphasis is placed on the integrity of the host immune system and strategies used by infectious agents to evade the immune system. The epidemiology of important and emerging infectious agents is also examined. The lectures are accompanied by a laboratory component which introduces students to advanced molecular, immunological, bacteriological and virological techniques. -- Course Website
