一、課程說明(Course Desc<x>ription)
<br>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
<br>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
<br>疫苗發展.
<br>The ob<x>jective of this course is to learn the general principles and 
<br>procedures of virology, with emphasis on the viruses which cause human 
<br>diseases. Topics in general virology, such as virus replication, 
<br>propagation, detection, assay, classification, virus-host interactions, 
<br>immunology, pathogenesis and techniques will be considered first, followed 
<br>by a discussion of the individual viruses and the diseases they cause in 
<br>humans.
