    We will explore the intimate relationships between infectious diseases and humans. Students will examine the biology of influential diseases and the biological principles that allow diseases to influence human events. The course uses scientific explanations and case studies to investigate the effects of diseases on human society. Each disease will be examined from different angles including its natural history (reservoirs, host factors, transmission), pathogenicity, historical impacts, and appropriate interventions. The diseases chosen reflect plagues that have occurred throughout history, especially those that have important lessons for the fields of microbiology or public health.

    This course focuses on microbial diseases that are major causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide (e.g. HIV, tuberculosis, malaria, influenza, etc.), diseases that are classified as emerging diseases (e.g. Ebola) and diseases that are being eliminated or eradicated, including certain Neglected Tropical Diseases. This course will analyze the pathogenesis, life cycles, epidemiology and societal impacts of these diseases, while emphasizing preventative interventions such as vaccinations, water, and sewage treatment, and elimination and eradication strategies. The role of various agencies (e.g. WHO and CDC) in improving global health will also be discussed. This course consists of 1 two-hour lecture per week. Prerequisite:    MICR 1113 and MICR 1153 and MICR 2054 and ZOOL 1110
