Mechanisms of viral restriction and adaptation during acute, persistent, chronic and latent infection

1. Types of infection (acute, persistent, chronic, slow), restriction / innate and natural immunity; interferon(s) - cytokines

2. Acute infections: influenza virus, restriction and adaptation

3. HIV persistence and latency

4. Persistent and latent phase of infection by other retroviruses

5. Million years taking persistence of retroviruses: endogenous retroviruses

6. Persistent and latent infection: active and passive role of the virus (herpesviruses and retroviruses)

7. Chronic type of infection, LCMV and HBV

8. Virus restriction during and after virus entry into the cell - restriction factors

9. Zoonoses, viral receptors and adaptation

10. Vaccines (KT) + students presentations

11. Control of virus infection in the host population

12. Students‘ round table discussion (viral tropism)
