Exam dates may be changed by the instructor, but in each case, at least 1 week notice will be given. Assessment and Evaluation: Understanding of the content will be assessed through graded problem sets, three in-class exams, a final exam, and a literature assignment. Grading Scale (Standard Letter Scale): A = 90-100 B = 80-89.99 C = 70-79.99 D = 60-69.99 F = <60 Grading Policies: Problem sets: 20% Midterm exams: 45% Literature assignment: 10% Final exam: 25% Course will not be graded on a curve. Extra credit opportunities may be provided at the lecturer’s discretion. Late Work Policy: No late work will be accepted, unless in the case of excused attendance. University rules related to excused and unexcused absences are located on-line at http://student-rules.tamu.edu/rule07 . Attendance: The University views class attendance as the responsibility of an individual student. Attendance is essential to complete the course successfully. University rules related to excused and unexcused absences are located on-line at http://student-rules.tamu.edu/rule07 . Please come on time. Silence cell-phones and other electronic distractions. Make-up Policy: If an absence is excused, the instructor will either provide the student an opportunity to make up any quiz, exam or other work that contributes to the final grade or provide a satisfactory alternative by a date agreed upon by the student and instructor. If the instructor has a regularly scheduled make up exam, students are expected to attend unless they have a university approved excuse. The make-up work must be completed in a timeframe not to exceed 30 calendar days from the last day of the initial absence.

The student is responsible for providing satisfactory evidence to the instructor to substantiate the reason for the absence. Among the reasons absences are considered excused by the university are the following (see Student Rule 7 for details http://student-rules.tamu.edu/rule07 ). The fact that these are university -excused absences does not relieve the student of responsibility for prior notification and documentation. Failure to notify and/or document properly may result in an unexcused absence. Falsification of documentation is a violation of the Honor Code.

1. Participation in an activity that is required for a class and appears on the university authorized activity list at https://studentactivities.tamu.edu/app/sponsauth/index

2. Death or major illness in a student's immediate family. 3. Illness of a dependent family member. 4. Participation in legal proceedings or administrative procedures that require a student's

presence. 5. Religious holy day. NOTE: Prior notification is NOT required. 6. Injury or illness that is too severe or contagious for the student to attend class.

i. Injury or illness of three or more class days: Student will provide a medical confirmation note from his or her medical provider within one week of the last date of the absence (see Student Rules 7.1.6.1)

ii. Injury or illness of less than three class days: Student will provide one or both of these (at instructor’s discretion), within one week of the last date of the absence:

a) Texas A&M University Explanatory Statement for Absence from Class form available at http://attendance.tamu.edu or

b) Confirmation of visit to a health care professional affirming date and time of visit.

7. Required participation in military duties. 8. Mandatory admission interviews for professional or graduate school that cannot be

rescheduled. 9. Mandatory participation as a student-athlete in NCAA-sanctioned competition. 10. In accordance with Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972, Texas A&M University

shall treat pregnancy (childbirth, false pregnancy, termination of pregnancy and recovery therefrom) and related conditions as a justification for an excused absence for so long a period of time as is deemed medically necessary by the student's physician. Requests for excused absence related to pregnancy should be directed to the instructor.

Other absences may be excused at the discretion of the instructor with prior notification and proper documentation In cases where prior notification is not feasible (e.g., accident or emergency) the student must provide notification by the end of the second working day after the absence, including an explanation of why notice could not be sent prior to the class. Accommodations sought for absences due to the observance of a religious holiday can be sought either prior or after the absence, but not later than two working days after the absence.

Methods in Vector-borne Disease Ecology 1

ENTO/VIBS 426/626 Methods in Vector-borne Disease Ecology

Spring 2017; 3 credit hours Lecture/Lab: Mon and Wed 8-10:50am; HPCT 210

Field trips: Various times and locations

Overview

Vector-borne diseases (VBDs) represent one of the fastest growing threats to human and animal population health. Patterns of climate change, global travel, urbanization, and species invasions suggest that VBDs will continue to challenge populations in both developed and developing countries. The One Health initiative calls for a synergy of efforts to protect human, animal, and ecosystem health, utilizing approaches from veterinary and human medicine, environmental science, and other disciplines. Because vectors and the pathogens they transmit often bridge humans, wildlife, and domestic animals, a One Health approach provides a useful framework for their research and management. In this course, we aim to equip future medical practitioners, public health officials, entomologists, disease ecologists, and biomedical researchers with a methodological understanding of how VBDs are studied in the field and laboratory. The emphasis will be hands-on activities to explore the ecology of disease systems, and we will utilize a One Health framework to guide lectures, field labs, and research projects. Students will apply course concepts to design, conduct, and present small group research projects.

Prerequisites: Undergraduate students must be Junior or Senior classification and approval of instructor. No graduate prerequisites, approval of instructor.

Learning Outcomes- ENTO/VIBS 426

Identify and compare the morphologic features and the ecology of the major vectors of disease in Texas, including mosquitoes, ticks, and triatomines.

Demonstrate the use of field methods to study vector-borne disease by collecting biological specimens at local field sites.

Follow protocols for serological and molecular processing of samples in a biosafety level 2 laboratory; organize experiments in a lab notebook.

Design, conduct, and evaluate a research project from ‘start to finish’, including data collection in the field and lab and dissemination of results.

Additional Learning Outcomes- ENTO/VIBS 626

Critically review published studies in a research area.

Summarize research findings in a manuscript that is suitable for peer-review and publication in a scientific journal.

Enrollment

Due to enrollment capacity of 15, enrollment is exclusively though an application process. Instructors will select enrollees based on:

1. Ratio of undergrad/graduate students to facilitate projects

2. Diversity of majors to provide complementary expertise and allow a focus on One Health

3. Career aspirations 4. Flexibility to participate in

activities outside lecture/lab

Materials Required Text: None Readings: Available electronically through eCampus website Notebooks: Two notebooks are required (one for field, one for lab)

Methods in Vector-borne Disease Ecology 1

Disease Detective Course Project Students will select one of three pre-determined research topics and engage in hypothesis generation and study design, field-based sample collection, lab-based molecular diagnostics, and data analysis throughout the semester. Projects will be conducted in small groups with a graduate student leader. Teams will prepare an oral presentation to deliver at the end of the semester. Additionally, graduate students will prepare a manuscript including literature review. In some cases, these manuscripts could be submitted for publication, pending contributions of students beyond the expectations of the semester-long course.

Field Research Experiences A series of field-based experiences are planned to expose students to vector and host populations in their natural environments. Because these experiences will include hands-on processing of vertebrate species (wild birds, rodents, etc), all students will be required to complete animal use trainings as required by the TAMU Institutional Animal Use and Care Committee (IACUC). Due to activity patterns of vectors and hosts, and travel to various field sites, not all such experiences can be attained within the restraints of regularly-scheduled class periods. Accordingly, some experiences will require meeting at night, early morning, or during weekends. Prior to any off-campus activity, students will be required to complete travel authorization forms with emergency contact information, and instructors will attain approval of department heads. Additionally, students will register with the Biosafety and Occupational Health Program and complete Blood-borne Pathogen Training.

Photo Policy We want you to enjoy the hands-on field and lab work we will conduct this semester, and we invite you to take photographs of your experiences to share with others. While all the work we do will uphold to strict protocols and humane treatment of animals, some photos taken out of context may be confusing to those not involved with our class. Therefore, you must obtain oral or written consent from instructors before distributing or posting to social media any photos taken of class activities.

Laboratory Research Experiences Analysis of field-collected biological specimens in vector-borne disease ecology research often occurs within the laboratory. Students will gain proficiency with common research techniques and laboratory equipment used to study vectors and pathogens. Because the biological samples with which we will work pose health risks, all students will be required to complete Biosafety Level 2 training.

Career Opportunity Guest Lectures Guest lectures are planned to feature different professionals who focus in vector-borne diseases. Invited speakers may include medical entomologists or zoonosis control veterinarians from the state health department, military entomologists, academic researchers with expertise in particular disease systems, or others. Each guest speaker will show the real-world application of the concepts learned in class, and asked to share their educational background and career path.

Evaluation: A=90–100%; B=80–89%; C=70–79%; D=60–69%; F=<60%

Academic Integrity Statement The Texas A&M University Honor Code, based on the long-standing affirmation that “An Aggie does not lie, cheat, or steal or tolerate those who do” is fundamental to the value of the A&M learning experience and requires that Aggies will not involve themselves in any form of academic dishonesty. According to the Office of the Aggie Honor System, academic dishonesty consists of cheating, fabrication, falsification, multiple submission, plagiarism, and multiplicity. Clarification of each of actions may be found at the Aggie Honor System website at https://aggiehonor.tamu.edu/. This list, however, is not exclusive of any other acts that may reasonably be termed academic dishonesty. The penalty for a violation of academic dishonesty in this class shall be an “F” in the course and filing of an Honor Code Violation Report with the Office of the Aggie Honor System. Less severe penalties may be imposed if the circumstances warrant.

ENTO/VIBS 426/626 Methods in Vector-borne Disease Ecology

Spring 2017; 3 credit hours Lecture/Lab: Mon and Wed 8-10:50am; HPCT 210

Field trips: Various times and locations

Overview

Vector-borne diseases (VBDs) represent one of the fastest growing threats to human and animal population health. Patterns of climate change, global travel, urbanization, and species invasions suggest that VBDs will continue to challenge populations in both developed and developing countries. The One Health initiative calls for a synergy of efforts to protect human, animal, and ecosystem health, utilizing approaches from veterinary and human medicine, environmental science, and other disciplines. Because vectors and the pathogens they transmit often bridge humans, wildlife, and domestic animals, a One Health approach provides a useful framework for their research and management. In this course, we aim to equip future medical practitioners, public health officials, entomologists, disease ecologists, and biomedical researchers with a methodological understanding of how VBDs are studied in the field and laboratory. The emphasis will be hands-on activities to explore the ecology of disease systems, and we will utilize a One Health framework to guide lectures, field labs, and research projects. Students will apply course concepts to design, conduct, and present small group research projects.

Prerequisites: Undergraduate students must be Junior or Senior classification and approval of instructor. No graduate prerequisites, approval of instructor.

Learning Outcomes- ENTO/VIBS 426

Identify and compare the morphologic features and the ecology of the major vectors of disease in Texas, including mosquitoes, ticks, and triatomines.

Demonstrate the use of field methods to study vector-borne disease by collecting biological specimens at local field sites.

Follow protocols for serological and molecular processing of samples in a biosafety level 2 laboratory; organize experiments in a lab notebook.

Design, conduct, and evaluate a research project from ‘start to finish’, including data collection in the field and lab and dissemination of results.

Additional Learning Outcomes- ENTO/VIBS 626

Critically review published studies in a research area.

Summarize research findings in a manuscript that is suitable for peer-review and publication in a scientific journal.

Enrollment

Due to enrollment capacity of 15, enrollment is exclusively though an application process. Instructors will select enrollees based on:

1. Ratio of undergrad/graduate students to facilitate projects

2. Diversity of majors to provide complementary expertise and allow a focus on One Health

3. Career aspirations 4. Flexibility to participate in

activities outside lecture/lab

Materials Required Text: None Readings: Available electronically through eCampus website Notebooks: Two notebooks are required (one for field, one for lab)

Methods in Vector-borne Disease Ecology 1

Disease Detective Course Project Students will select one of three pre-determined research topics and engage in hypothesis generation and study design, field-based sample collection, lab-based molecular diagnostics, and data analysis throughout the semester. Projects will be conducted in small groups with a graduate student leader. Teams will prepare an oral presentation to deliver at the end of the semester. Additionally, graduate students will prepare a manuscript including literature review. In some cases, these manuscripts could be submitted for publication, pending contributions of students beyond the expectations of the semester-long course.

Field Research Experiences A series of field-based experiences are planned to expose students to vector and host populations in their natural environments. Because these experiences will include hands-on processing of vertebrate species (wild birds, rodents, etc), all students will be required to complete animal use trainings as required by the TAMU Institutional Animal Use and Care Committee (IACUC). Due to activity patterns of vectors and hosts, and travel to various field sites, not all such experiences can be attained within the restraints of regularly-scheduled class periods. Accordingly, some experiences will require meeting at night, early morning, or during weekends. Prior to any off-campus activity, students will be required to complete travel authorization forms with emergency contact information, and instructors will attain approval of department heads. Additionally, students will register with the Biosafety and Occupational Health Program and complete Blood-borne Pathogen Training.

Photo Policy We want you to enjoy the hands-on field and lab work we will conduct this semester, and we invite you to take photographs of your experiences to share with others. While all the work we do will uphold to strict protocols and humane treatment of animals, some photos taken out of context may be confusing to those not involved with our class. Therefore, you must obtain oral or written consent from instructors before distributing or posting to social media any photos taken of class activities.

Laboratory Research Experiences Analysis of field-collected biological specimens in vector-borne disease ecology research often occurs within the laboratory. Students will gain proficiency with common research techniques and laboratory equipment used to study vectors and pathogens. Because the biological samples with which we will work pose health risks, all students will be required to complete Biosafety Level 2 training.

Career Opportunity Guest Lectures Guest lectures are planned to feature different professionals who focus in vector-borne diseases. Invited speakers may include medical entomologists or zoonosis control veterinarians from the state health department, military entomologists, academic researchers with expertise in particular disease systems, or others. Each guest speaker will show the real-world application of the concepts learned in class, and asked to share their educational background and career path.
