The aim of the course:
It is aimed for students to have knowledge about viruses and replication mechanisms, to understand viral adhesion and entry into the cell, and to learn cell surface receptors and their interactions with viral proteins.
 
Programme OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
PO - 1 : Learning the definition and classification of viruses2,61,5,
PO - 2 : Understanding virus-host interactions and being able to comment on the mechanism of infection based on viral genetic material.2,61,5,
PO - 3 : Ability to create interaction maps between viral adhesion proteins and host receptors2,61,5,
CTPO : Contribution to programme outcomes, TOA :Type of assessment (1: written exam, 2: Oral exam, 3: Homework assignment, 4: Laboratory exercise/exam, 5: Seminar / presentation, 6: Term paper), PO : Learning Outcome
