The students' performance will be graded as satisfactory/unsatisfactory on the basis of constructive participation in the seminars (paper presentation) and in-class discussions. Two-page home-prepared essay on selected subject will be discussed during the final oral evaluation. This is a thematic oriented class with contributions expected from each student. Lectures will follow up with assigned papers to be discussed by the students in the class. The students are responsible for reviewing the papers and presenting the contents of the paper for general round-table discussion. |

Types of infection (acute, persistent, chronic, slow), restriction / innate and natural immunity; interferon(s) - cytokines 2. Acute infections: influenza virus, restriction and adaptation 3. HIV persistence and latency 4. Persistent and latent phase of infection by other retroviruses 5. Million years taking persistence of retroviruses: endogenous retroviruses 6. Persistent and latent infection: active and passive role of the virus (herpesviruses and retroviruses) 7. Chronic type of infection, LCMV and HBV 8. Virus restriction during and after virus entry into the cell - restriction factors 9. Zoonoses, viral receptors and adaptation 10. Vaccines (KT) + students presentations 11.
