Young people will learn what a virus particle is made of, what the beginnings of scientific research on the structure of pathogens were like, who contributed most to the development of virology, and when humanity first saw a virus. The concept of \u2018contagium vivum fluidum\u2019 will no longer be foreign to listeners.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>The lecture entitled We will start our meeting with a lecture entitled: \u2018Let&#8217;s face our opponents \u2013 what should we know about viruses\u2019.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Organiser: Medical University of Silesia in Katowice.
