โข Molecular Biology of the Zika Virus: Understanding the genetic makeup and replication of the Zika virus is crucial to identifying its transmission patterns and developing effective countermeasures. This unit will delve into the virus's genome structure, evolution, and various strains. โข Zika Transmission Dynamics: This unit will explore the modes of Zika transmission, including vector-borne, sexual, and congenital transmission. It will also cover the epidemiological concepts of incidence, prevalence, and basic reproductive number (R0). โข Diagnostic Methods for Zika: Students will learn about the various diagnostic techniques for Zika, such as reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), serological tests, and nucleic acid testing (NAT). The unit will also discuss the advantages and limitations of each method. โข Zika Vector Control Strategies: This unit will cover the biology and behavior of Zika vectors, primarily Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. Students will learn about integrated vector management, genetic modification, and other novel control strategies for these mosquito species. โข Epidemiological Surveillance and Monitoring: This unit will teach students how to design and implement effective surveillance systems for Zika. It will cover the use of sentinel surveillance, spatial analysis, and data visualization tools for tracking the virus's spread. โข Public Health Response to Zika Outbreaks: This unit will discuss the various public health interventions used to contain Zika outbreaks, such as vaccination programs, insecticide spraying, and community engagement. It will also cover the ethical considerations of these interventions. โข Advances in Zika Vaccines and Therapeutics: This unit will explore the latest developments in Zika vaccine candidates, including DNA, mRNA, and viral vector-based vaccines. It will also cover the current state of Zika therapeutics and antiviral drug discovery. โข Research Ethics in Zika Research: This unit will cover the ethical principles and guidelines that govern Zika research, including informed consent, benefit-risk assessment, and data sharing. It will also discuss the challenges and opportunities of conducting research in resource-limited settings.
