Course objectives
Molecular biology and genetics of bacterial viruses contains morphology and structure of bacterial viruses, infection and lysis of bacterial cells caused by phage virions, adsorption of phage virion to the surface of bacterial cells, synthesis of bacterial viruses in host cell, mutation and recombination of bacteriophage, lysogeny and genetics of temperate phage, general characteristics of some temperate phages. Molecular biology and genetics of vertebrate and invertebrate viruses: papovaviruses, adenoviruses, herpesviruses, poxviruses, parvoviruses, reoviruses, flaviviruses, picornaviruses, togaviruses, arteriviruses, rhabdoviruses, paramyxoviruses, filoviruses, orthomyxoviruses, bunyaviruses, retroviruses, hepadnaviruses. Molecular biology of retroviruses including the virus HIV and HTLV, adenoviruses, herpesviruses, influenzavirus, hepadnaviruses and oncoviruses are given in detail. Molecular biology and genetics of plant viruses: caulimoviruses, geminiviruses, bromoviruses, nepoviruses, tymoviruses, tobamoviruses, tombusviruses, luteoviruses, hordeiviruses, potexviruses etc. Characteristics of main types of plant diseases caused by viruses are explained. Molecular taxonomy and evolution of viruses. Molecular diagnostic of viruses. Prions and viriods. Virus cloning vectors.
