Full Description
This exam assesses the intricate relationship between viral pathogens and host immune responses. Candidates will analyze common viral pathogenesis mechanisms and the resulting host defense strategies.
Knowledge of viral pathogenesis is essential for developing therapeutic and preventive strategies. Understanding immune responses facilitates the design of vaccines and informs treatment protocols for viral diseases.
The examination will focus on the candidate's ability to articulate mechanisms of viral evasion, as well as the adaptive and innate immune responses activated during infections.
Candidates may also discuss scenarios involving co-infections and the impact on immune competence and disease progression.
Sample Questions
- What are the main mechanisms by which viruses evade the host immune response?
- How do co-infections alter the immune response to individual viral pathogens?
