Lesson1 : Viral Genetics
Viral genetics refers to the study of the genetic material and processes involved in the replication, evolution, and transmission of viruses. Viruses are microscopic infectious agents that lack the cellular…
Lesson 2 : Viral Evolution
Viral evolution refers to the process by which viruses undergo changes in their genetic material over time, leading to the development of new strains and variants. Evolutionary processes in viruses…
Lesson 3 :Virus Mutation and Variation
Virus mutation and variation are essential aspects of viral biology that play a significant role in the adaptability, evolution, and diversity of viruses. Mutation Rates: Viruses exhibit different mutation rates…
Topic 8 :Viral Infections and Pathogenesis
A. VIDEOS Infection basics Acute infections Persistent infections (Lecture) The infected cell Pathogenesis of viral infection Mechanisms of pathogenesis Transformation and oncogenesis B. LEARNING OUTCOMES By the end of this…
Lesson 3: How do viruses carry out their next generation?
Viral replication is the formation of biological viruses during the infection process in the target host cells. Replication is the total of all the events whereby a single particle attaches…
Lesson 5 (b): Virus Internalization ( Viral membrane fusion)
Viral membrane fusion Topic 7: The Biology of Replication of Viruses Virus Internalization Viral membrane fusion Viral membrane fusion is the process by which enveloped viruses enter host cells. Fusion…
Lesson 5 (c): Virus Internalization ( Receptor-mediated endocytosis)
Receptor-mediated endocytosis (viropexis) Topic 7: The Biology of Replication of Viruses Virus Internalization Receptor-mediated endocytosis (viropexis) Endocytosis or veropexis is the most common cellular entry technique for viruses Once the…
Lesson 1: Why do we classify Viruses?
Virus taxonomy is important because it allows the clinical, biological and evolutionary features of a virus to be placed into a framework that accommodates and connects all viruses. What is…
