Overview We all harbor viruses and virtually everyone has recovered from a viral infection. Despite effective vaccines and treatments for other viral diseases (measles, hepatitis, HIV, rhinoviruses, influenza, polio, sepsis, TB and viral pneumonia), the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic has provided a ringside seat to observe the battle between scientists, health care and public health professionals and a rapidly evolving, often deadly infectious disease. This talk will begin by providing an overview of viruses, then shift focuses to examine the many ways in which genomics has been involved in managing COVID; from identification of the viral genome in early 2020, to viral mutations, development of testing kits and vaccines, and finally to sharing what is currently understood about genetic associations with increased risk for severe illness, recurrent infection and prolonged symptoms (aka 'long COVID'). This program will include how genomics has helped to manage SARS-CoV, the immune response to infection, how genomics is used to track community spread and viral mutations, genetics and human responses to viral infections (infuenza, COVID, HIV, Ebola and mpox), as well as prevention strategies.
Objectives
- Describe the history of common viruses.
- Discuss the ways in which genomics has been involved in addressing viral diseases.
- Discuss genetic associations with poor health outcomes from viral infections.
- Discuss viral treatments.
