Full Description

This examination emphasizes the classification and evolutionary relationships among viruses. Candidates will discuss the criteria used for viral taxonomy, including genetic and phenotypic characteristics.

Understanding virus classification is crucial for virology, as it informs research, diagnosis, and treatment. Additionally, insights into viral evolution provide essential context for anticipating future viral emergence and outbreaks.

The exam will test candidatesโ€™ ability to verbally outline different viral families, their evolutionary history, and the implications for human health.

Candidates should prepare to provide examples of virus classification systems and how genetic studies contribute to understanding virus evolution.

Sample Questions

  • What genetic characteristics are essential for classifying viruses into families?
  • How does understanding the evolutionary history of viruses aid in predicting future outbreaks?
