Position Summary

Viruses are the most numerous and ubiquitous replicating structures on Earth, and infect every form of life, from bacteria to humans. All viruses have a parasitic intracellular life cycle, and while some are incredibly pathogenic (HIV, influenza, West Nile), many more have no apparent negative effects on their host's health. In fact, it has been suggested recently that some viral infections are symbiotic, supporting their host's health. Viruses are dynamic, streamlines units with whom we as humans have been evolving since the beginning of our existence. Biomedical virology will discuss these fascinating entities from a human health perspective.
