The basic principles of pathology as applied to pathogens infecting insects and related arthropods. Course content will include how pathogens manifest diseases in individuals and populations, descriptions of major micro- and macro-organisms that routinely cause reduced fitness in arthropods, as well as how insects respond to pathogen challenge, both physiologically and behaviorally. Prereq: Biology 1113 or 1114, or Grad standing.
