Wildlife Virology: Emerging Wildlife Viruses of Veterinary and Zoonotic Importance
VME 6195/4906
Course Coordinator: Dr. A. Allison
Wildlife Virology is a 3-credit (3 hours of lecture/week) undergraduate/graduate-level course focusing on pathogenic viruses that are naturally maintained in wildlife species which are transmissible to humans, domestic animals, and other wildlife/zoological species. In this course, we will cover a comprehensive and diverse set of RNA and DNA viruses that naturally infect free-ranging mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish. We will also address the newly described diversity of viruses found within marine and terrestrial invertebrates/arthropods and its significance to the taxonomy and origins of animal and human viral pathogens.
