As long as it covers the following info the powerpoint can be as long as deemed fit:
Include in
your presentation:
1.
Photograph of your parasite
2.
Photograph of how the infection manifests itself in the victim (sores, lesions,
lumps, blindness, skin discoloration, rashes, etc.)
3.
Geographic range of the parasite.
4. Habitat
of the parasite (temperature, land, fresh water, salt water, another animal
that serves as a host).
5. How to
protect yourself from an infection of the parasite.
6.
Medications or methods used to kill the parasite or rid it from ones’ body.
7. Lasting
effects (by drugs used or by the parasite).
8. How it
may affect your travel.
9. Its basic
life cycle (any other organisms needed for it to complete its life cycle).
10. Use a
minimum of three sources to check the accuracy of your information (or use a
reputable source such as a well know medical facility, university or the
Centers for Disease Control for example) and cite the sources used.
11. Quote
sources if you write word for word if you have no better way of stating the
information.
12. Be able
to answer questions if scientific terminology is used.  I suggest you learn the terms and their
meanings.  You will lose points if you
use a term and don’t know what it means.
