EM2111

This course introduces students to the biology of pathogenic microbes; the disease process; the immune system; the mechanisms by which vaccines, antibiotics, and antivirals work to protect us from disease; and the ways in which humans have unwittingly (and sometimes intentionally) promoted the spread of infectious disease within the United States and around the world. Topics will be presented in the context of emergency management, with focus on public health issues and bioterrorism.
