ASV Educational Resources

Are you teaching a virology class for undergraduate or graduate students? Are you trying to add some virology content to a general microbiology course? ASV’s Curriculum Guidelines (posted August 2022) provide recommendations for designing your content and approach to teaching about viruses. These guidelines are intended to provide a general framework while providing for flexibility in course design and delivery.
