| EBK6010 | Emerging and Reemerging Viral Diseases | 4+0+0 | ECTS:7.5 | | Year / Semester | Fall Semester | | Level of Course | Third Cycle | | Status | Elective | | Department | DEPARTMENT of BIOCHEMISTRY (PHARMACY) | | Prerequisites and co-requisites | None | | Mode of Delivery | | | Contact Hours | 14 weeks - 4 hours of lectures per week | | Lecturer | Prof. Dr. Atila Taner KALAYCIOĞLU | | Co-Lecturer | | | Language of instruction | | | Professional practise ( internship ) | None | | | | The aim of the course: | | The enhancement of global trade and travel, increase in population density, environmental and climate changes are the predisposing factors for appearance of emerging diseases in the world. Many of these diseases have viral origin and display zoonotic potential and some of them have biological arthropod vectors and intermediate hosts. One of the greatest concerns about these diseases is their expansion potential to spread to different parts of the world from their place of origin. The Covid-19 disease has revealed the importance of newly emerging diseases due to the pandemic conditions it has created around the world. The aim of the course for PhD students is to introduce the overall emerging and re-emerging viruses and diseases and molecular immunological basis of these diseases. It is believed that these topics can give valuable benefit to graduate students through their academic and professional life. |
