Seminar in Vector-Borne Diseases.

Catalog description

This course is intended to provide graduate students and advanced undergraduates with a broad survey of vector-borne diseases and an understanding of how pathogens interact with arthropod vectors. While this course will not be highly technical in nature or require deep knowledge of microbiology and/or immunology, students are expected to have some prior understanding of the fundamentals of biology in general (including cell/molecular biology, ecology, and evolution) and genetics in particular.
