Improve your understanding of the basic concepts of infectious diseases, dynamics of disease transmission, and the emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases from many perspectives.

You also focus on host-pathogen relationships and the mechanisms behind the emergence of new microbial threats.

From an initial review of some common terms, you progress into detailed discussions on how pathogens establish themselves within a host to sustain an infection.
