Course Outcomes

• Recall the types of vectors (mechanical and biological) and their examples (mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, etc.).
• Describe the symptoms, transmission and control measures for vector-borne diseases (e.g., malaria, dengue, plague). Explain the structure and functions of cell organelles (e.g., lysosome, mitochondria, ribosomes).
• Identify key features of diseases caused by vectors, linking them to specific parasites or pathogens. Demonstrate knowledge of the role of vectors in disease transmission cycles.
• Compare the mechanisms of disease transmission between mechanical and biological vectors. Differentiate the structures and functions of organelles such as the Golgi complex and endoplasmic reticulum.
• Evaluate the effectiveness of control measures for diseases like malaria or tick-borne encephalitis. Assess the evolutionary adaptations of cell organelles to specific cellular functions (e.g., energy production in mitochondria).
• Develop a model or diagram illustrating the structure of specific cell organelles or the transmission cycle of a vector-borne disease.
