This document provides an overview of the syllabus for a virology and mycology course. It discusses several topics that will be covered including different types of fungi and viral infections. Specifically, it outlines two units that will focus on DNA viruses, including cytomegalovirus (CMV). The units will examine the classification and characteristics of CMV, as well as how it is diagnosed in a laboratory through methods like culture, staining, and molecular tests.
