Course Aims:

The broad aims of the course are as follows: (either to be written in items or as a paragraph)

1- To educate the candidate the general properties of viruses including their structures, modes of replication, modes of transmission, basic methods for diagnosis and the known antiviral agents used for treatment. 2- To give the candidate conclusive knowledge about the clinical features, etiology,

pathogenesis and methods of laboratory diagnosis of viral infections and apply that knowledge in the treatment, prevention and control of communicable diseases caused by viruses.

(2)

Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs):

On successful completion of the course, the candidate will be able to: A- Knowledge and Understanding A 38 Describe the chemical composition of viruses. A 39 Outline the classification of viruses.

A 40 Recognize the modes of transmission, pathogenesis and control of viral diseases. A 41 Describe the modes of viral replication.

A 42 List the antiviral agents, their mechanisms of action, and the different mechanisms of antiviral drug resistance 2- Intellectual activities (I) A 43 Recognize the modes of cultivation and assay of viruses. The Postgraduate Degree provides opportunities for candidates to achieve and demonstrate the A44 Describe the structure, pathogenesis, mode of transmission of DNA viruses with emphasis on following intellectual qualities: the clinical picture and laboratory diagnosis of diseases caused by each. A45 Describe the structure, pathogenesis, mode of transmission of RNA viruses with emphasis on the clinical picture and laboratory diagnosis of diseases caused by each. A46 Recognize Prion diseases.

A47 List arthropod born viral diseases. A48 List rodent born viral diseases.
