| Kompetenceområder | |||||||||||||||||
| Competencies within basic science: - An comprehension of the disease cycle including all stages of pathogen invasion and later development, leading to epidemics. Competencies within applied science: - Apply principles of management of plant diseases based on knowledge of the pathogens and their interaction with the host. Competencies within ethics and values: - Awareness of the potential ethical problems during the control of plant diseases, for example human and environmental hasards | |||||||||||||||||
| Kursets målsætning | |||||||||||||||||
| The course aims at a deeper understanding of mechanisms of infection, establishment in the host from a physiological & histological viewpoint and interactions at the individual and population level. Furthermore a comprehension of proper management strategies, based on knowledge of the disease cycle. | |||||||||||||||||
| Kursusindhold | |||||||||||||||||
| The students are expected to gain a broad biologically based comprehension of disease development and management strategies. The course plan will be based on a selection among the following issues which demonstrate different aspects of infection and population biology and disease management: · Infection paths, establishment and transmission · Differences in nutritional strategy among different taxonomic groups of pathogens (examples: virus, bacteria, fungi in the broad sense, seed plants), · The morphology of host resistance to diseases, and the effect of constitutive and active factors on the pathogen. · Selected disease cycles . Pathogen population dynamics and forces involved in population changes. Pathogen and vector dispersal patterns and the importance of disease management. Interactions between wild and crop pathosystems. Overview: Disease management using different strategies In detail: management by host resistance including race specific and race-non specific resitance, mixtures, gene deployment in time and space and other diversification schemes. Furthermore management by cultural precautions. | |||||||||||||||||
