Viral Specificity and Human Lines of Defense Power Point Presentation

PowerPoint presentation on Viral Specificity and Human Lines of Defense.
This colorful presentation includes both electron micrograph and illustrated images and animations. The following information is discussed
- viruses and disease
- viral specificity
- the human body's primary, secondary and tertiary lines of defense against viral infections
- a detailed description of the immune systems cellular response to invaders insluding the production of anitibodies
- what is epidemiology?
- factors that affect the rate of disease transmission
- treatment and prevention of viral infection
- how do vaccines work?

Please see my site for a student worksheet that is available that is exactly the same as the presentation with blanks for students to fill in as they watch, discuss the presentation.

I have found these powerpoints to be great tools in the classroom as students have the opportunity to actually see and discuss images instead of simply words. I have sold this particular powerpoint to over 100 teachers in Canada and have had great reviews for my work.

Thanks!
