Instructor
This selective will focus on the process by which new etiologic agents of disease have been discovered. Special attention will be paid to the logical process by which a causative role is attributed to a newly discovered pathogen. This selective will also focus on understanding the process of identification and characterization of virulence determinants. Examples will be taken from bacterial, protozoan, viral and fungal pathogens.
