Analysis of virus/host interactions at the molecular level with a view to understanding how viruses cause disease. Course material is based on recent research publications. Topics will be selected from two or three themes that may include virus entry, intracellular trafficking, activation of host cell signaling pathways in response to infection, assembly and release of progeny virus, viral and host determinants of tissue tropism within the host and virus transmission between hosts.
