Collections of Virology Sites

www.virology.net seeks to be the best single site for Virology information on the Internet. they have collected all the virology related Web sites that might be of interest to fellow virologists, and others interested in learning more about viruses. Additionally, they created an index to virus pictures on the web, The Big Picture Book of Viruses, which also functions as a resource for viral taxonomy. A collection of some of the best Online Virology and Microbiology Course Notes available can also be found here.



Collections of Virology Sites:







  • Specific Virus Sites - our collection of web sites that focus on an individual virus or viral family -- from Adenoviruses to Viroids.



  • AIDS & HIV - the most complete collection of AIDS and HIV sites on the web - organized by topic.



  • Emerging Viruses - this is a collection of pages focused on the viruses that get all the press -- and deserve to! Here you will find our collection of Ebola, Marburg and similar viral pathogens.



  • Plant Viruses - all of the plant virus web sites have been conveniently collected in one central location, and organized by topic.



  • Organizations and Groups - a collection of links to Microbiology and Virology Departments and Institutes, as well as virology labs, scientific societies and scientific companies.



  • Graduate Programs in Virology - these are all the graduate school programs in the world that focus on Virology and have a web site to tell you about it.

Histology and pathology images

MedPics:

MedPics is a computer-assisted learning program with online access to histology and pathology images. The Instructional Development Group of Educational Computing in conjunction with the Histology and Human Disease course faculty created MedPics, which provides a convenient mechanism for reviewing photomicrographs and other images chosen by faculty to demonstrate major course concepts in Histology, Pathology and Hematology. Make sure you recognize that you can toggel between the histology section (normal tissues) and the pathology section (disease states). Each image is accompanied by a descriptive text legend and graphic overlays that identify key structures, enabling you to study at your pace with faculty-level guidance.

Histology Image Bank

Histology Image Bank:

The Histology Image Bank has been compiled from student glass slide sets used in the laboratory to illustrate essential features described in the Laboratory Manual used for the Histology courses (SOM 213 or SPPS 240). In contrast to MedPics, there are no graphic overlays indicating key features. In the Histology Image Bank, descriptive legends emphasize key features in order to encourage students to master relevant vocabulary.
