Problems posed by zoonotic infections,Transmission modes (Bites, scratches, excretions and intermediate hosts).
The Roboviruses (Hantaanviruses), the Arenaviruses - Lassa Fever (structure, classification, epidemiology, replication and pathology. Symptoms, diagnosis, control and therapy). The Filoviruses - Marburg and Ebola Virus (structure, classification, epidemiology, replication and pathology. Symptoms, diagnosis, control and therapy). Rhabdoviruses - Rabies virus (structure, classification, epidemiology, replication and pathology. Symptoms, diagnosis, control, therapy and vaccines). The Poxviruses - Cowpox, Camelpox, Monkeypox and Orf viruses. Other zoonotic infections (Herpes virus B, Influenza etc.). Containment and control during laboratory diagnosis
Invertebrate vectors:-
