Course content
One of the important theoretical issues in the development of virology as a science is the problem of integration and differentiation. Modern virological research has a pronounced integrative nature. Therefore, the teaching of the compulsory course "Virology" is based on the interdisciplinary integration of educational programs with specializations such as biology, virology, microbiology, immunology, ecology, health care organization, infectious disease clinic, etc. They are based on complex molecular genetic, statistical, sociological studies. The course occupies a leading position in the training of biologists. Based on knowledge of biochemistry, microbiology, general and molecular genetics, molecular biology, cytology, biophysics, virology.
