Traditional techniques for virus isolation have been refined, and new alternative methods have been developed. This module will discuss the general diagnostic tests for virus detection and identification. Progress in clinical diagnostic virology for virus identification has been remarkable.

This module only focus on the introduction of eucaryotic parasites which covers the type and characteristics of each parasitic group. We will discuss some of the terms often used in parasitology. Upon completion of this module, you should demonstrate the ability to describe the types of parasites and their characteristics.

This so-called "superbug" scenario is not science fiction. The superbug scenario will be discussed in detail as part of this module. This module will describe the ability of microbes to endure the selective pressures of their environments and the adaptation mechanisms that they acquire to invade their hosts (humans).
