摘要：
At many undergraduate institutions it is not possible for every student to participate in one-on-one student-faculty research experiences. However, large numbers of undergraduates could gain research experience through the use of course-based undergraduate research (CURE) in laboratory courses. Here we present a CURE using a viral emerging infection in amphibians that is suitable for undergraduate-level students and will permit them to develop an understanding of how to calculate epidemiologically relevant sample sizes, genomic DNA extraction procedures, traditional or quantitative PCR use, and associated techniques.
