BIO 120 - Emerging Infectious Diseases

1 course unit
In 1976 when dozens of Legionnaires fell dead with a “mysterious and terrifying disease,” it came as quite a shock to many that “new” diseases remained to be discovered. In this course, we will explore emerging and re-emerging diseases such as SARS, influenza, and anthrax (as well as many others) by looking at the transmission, pathology, and genetic engineering techniques that are used to identify, treat, and study these infectious organisms.
Prerequisite(s): Students who have taken BIO 150 , BIO 151 , or BIO 152  need permission of the instructor to enroll.
Meets general academic requirement S or SC.
