case 1 : Parents bring their 2-year-old infant into the emergency room of a clinic. The infant is
suffering with diarrhea and vomiting, and initial observation shows a dangerous level of
dehydration. Initial tests do not indicate a bacterial infection or the presence of bacterial toxins.
Ruling out the involvement of a bacterial pathogen, discuss what other pathogens may be
involved. Discuss the characteristics of these viruses and their associated diseases.
case 2: Advances in genetic sequencing have revealed new information about virus mutation and
gene transfer between host cell genomes and viral genomes. Why is this research important to
public health?.
