Investigation of Hanta virus infection in humans (360G-Wellcome-096979_Z_11_Z)

£350

The workshop will be based on a real-life case study, concerning an outbreak of Hanta virus. This infects deer mice in the USA, and is usually harmless, but a mutant form of the virus has now infected field mice. 26 people in the USA died from an unknown viral infection, and DNA technology later showed that their deaths were caused by the mutant form of Hanta virus that passed from field mice to humans. In the workshop, students will be given this case study to solve for themselves, using restriction enzymes, micropipettes and gel electrophoresis. These techniques are not normally available to us in a sixth form college.
