LECTURES 1. Vector borne infectious diseases: Introduction. 2. Intermediate hosts. 3. Vector transmission pathogens: Ecological implications. 4. Infectious models implying vector transmission. 5. Vectors and emerging diseases. 6. Molecular bases of parasite-host relationships. 7. Viral infectious diseases 8. Virus structure. Replication and expression mechanisms. 9. Virus/host molecular interactions 10. Immune system subversion strategies and host defenses. 11. Pathogenesis, epidemiology, with special focus on emerging viruses. 12. Viral vectors 13. Antiviral therapy 14. Vaccines 15. Genetic resistance to viral infections LABORATORY EXERCISES 1. Recollection of infectious disease vectors. 2. Molecular detection of pathogenic agents with DNA/RNA amplification through PCR/RT-PCR, PCR products purification, sequencing, etc. 3. Antigen and viral protein analysis: immune-enzymatic assays, immune-fluorescence, western blot. 4. Genomic Analysis: in situ molecular hybridization.
The course will get organized alternating lectures and laboratory exercises so that long sessions will be avoided. A field trip to get starting material will also be scheduled. At the end of the course, students are expected to have presented two papers.
Students with special educational needs should contact the Student Attention Service (Servicio de Atención y Ayudas al Estudiante) in order to receive the appropriate academic support
Grade will be provided according to the studentââ¬â¢s participation both in debates and expositive classes, the proficiency in the subject main facts, and the structure, quality and exposition of papers.
