Outline and discuss the anatomy of a virus. Include the terms virion, capsid, envelope, DNA and/or RNA genetic material, and protein attachment "spikes". Outline the 6 stages of viral infection and using diagrams and short videos discuss how each stage functions.

Continuation of viral infection.The stages in viral infection and some common viral infections. The classification of viral infection, the effect on host cells and vaccination

Outline the stages of infection which occur at the cellular level due to viruses. How the host cell becomes damages or killed. List some common virus infections over the past few years. List the classification of viral infection and discuss each in full. Talk about viral latency and ow it may cause reinfection years later.

Introduction to microbiology... Definitions of microbes, microbiology, the size, shape, appearance, and place in the environment. Difference between normal flora and infectious microbes.Explanations and examples of the terms disease, pathogens,and parasites. Pathways to infection including the skin, body fluids, airborne particles, fecal contact and contact with surfaces. Pathogens can be either viruses, bacterial, fungi, protozoa or worms. The general anatomy and physiology of a virus was introduced.

Same as previous

Introductory lesson into microbes, disease, and infectious disease

introduction to microbes, nomenclature and shape. Bacteria, viruses, fungi, worms.

Starting lesson dealing with microbes of all classes... Bacteria, viruses, protozoa, fungi, and internal worms... Definitions and classification, along with microscope photos to aid in the anatomy...

Continue with the anatomy and physiology of the Leukocytes. The 5 different types were mentioned and seen as a microphotograph of a drop of blood. The differences in structure were noted, and the major function of the cells in general discussed, that of protection against invading pathogens. Leukemia was discussed as a disease, its etiology and how it is treated using chemotherapy. The main effect of the chemo agents was discussed, along with the reason why some of the obvious side effects are seen.

Anatomy and physiology of white blood cells, also called leukocytes was discussed. We talked about mono nucleated or multinuclear, they are capable of reproduction, even though they are also produced within the bone marrow of the long bones. Viewing a photograph of the blood showed a sample of each type of leukocyte. Using the coronavirus as a current example, the concentration of specific WBC'S will be increased when infection sets in. The function was determined to destroy invading organisms by phagocytosis, and in so doing, produce immunity to future invasion. The history of vaccination was briefly presented, the word derived from the romance language vaca (vacca) referring to a cow. The initial vaccination was to use cowpox scabs inserted into the nasal passages to confer immunity to smallpox. Leukemia, a hyper WBC condition, was briefly discussed, as well as smallpox vaccination.
