Students will be able to: • describe basics of virus taxonomy, especially the Baltimore classification • understand methods of virus identification • describe the main steps of the virus life cycle • understand basics of viral infection transmission and its consequences • evaluate current viral threats not only in the animal kingdom Last update: Lipov Jan (26.01.2026)
