Course content
The educational discipline "Emergent Viral Infections" is a component of the educational program for professional training of specialists with the educational degree "Bachelor". The discipline is a basic discipline that covers information about the latest and re-discovered previously defeated viral infections that pose a global threat to public health. The course covers the etiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical picture, diagnostics and prevention of viral infections. During the study of the discipline, the classification of emerging viruses is given, the interaction of viruses with the immune system and the mechanisms of evasion of viruses from immune surveillance are considered.
