Additional information
The unit content is split into 2 distinct sections. The first half of the unit consists of 18 lectures focused on aspects of virology (including a single introductory lecture on rickettsia and chlamydia), and the second half of the unit is focused on bacteriology, also consisting of 18 lectures (with an introductory lecture on fungi and mycoplasma). The unit laboratory/workshop sessions are also separated into two streams. The first stream consists of workshop sessions on immunology/vaccinology to give students a basic background in vaccination, and practical laboratory classes examining basic diagnostic techniques used in virology. The second stream consists of bacteriology laboratories where students will gain practical experience in microbiology and bacterial identification.
