一、課程說明(Course Description)
本課程主要介紹醫用病毒學原理如病毒組成與結構,分類,RNA或DNA病毒的分子複製機制.同時著重
於探討引起人類疾病之重要病毒,病毒與細胞相互關係,病毒毒力與致病機轉,及抗病毒藥物與疫苗

展.
The objective of this course is to learn the general principles and
procedures of virology, with emphasis on the viruses which cause human
diseases. Topics in general virology, such as virus replication,
propagation,
detection, assay, classification, virus-host interactions, immunology,
pathogenesis and techniques will be considered first, followed by a
discussion
of the individual viruses and the diseases they cause in humans.
