Viruses and Human Health

Learning Objectives At the end of this lesson, you will be able to… (1) Define disease characteristics of viruses (2) Speculate on the influence of these characteristics on the spread of disease (3) Design simulation experiments to test their hypotheses (4) Draw conclusions based on obtained simulation data (5) Integrate knowledge regarding different characteristics to speculate on the combined effect of variations in two or more characteristics

What are… Viruses

Viral Transmission

Vaccines Video

Viral Transmission Simulation Investigate the impact of 4 disease characteristics on the spread of disease through a population (1)Virulence: 0-75% victims die (2) Duration of Infection: 1-20 days (3)Rate of Transmission: new person per day (4)Initial Percent Immune: 0-100%
