The lecture course will focus primarily on viruses, which cause diseases in humans and which are diagnosed as a part of routine medical practice. Our main emphasis will be on diagnostic principles and epidemiological aspects. At the beginning of the course, we will outline basic definitions used in epidemiology and molecular epidemiology. We will characterize regulations for evaluating diagnostic methods and commercial tests, describe methods and rules of work in a virological laboratory as well as define principles of good laboratory practice. Pathogenesis and methods of prevention of viral diseases in humans will be discussed. In subsequent lectures we will focus on groups of viruses that cause diseases with similar clinical manifestation (e.g. respiratory viruses or viruses causing hepatitis) and specify their mode of transmission, incubation period, type of infection, clinical symptoms, diagnostics, prevention and prophylaxis. Newly emerging important viral infections will also be discussed.
