Provide a brief description of the outbreak (who, what, when, where).
Describe the pathogen responsible for the outbreak, including the signs and symptoms of illness and complications that can lead to hospitalization and/or death.
Discuss the potential source (food, water, air, etc.) and exposure pathways for the pathogen (ingested, inhaled, absorbed, etc.)
What were the results of the outbreak? How many confirmed and/or suspected cases, hospitalizations and deaths occurred? How did the outbreak cease?
What disease investigation principles were used to determine the pathogen, source and exposure pathway of the outbreak?
How can similar outbreaks be prevented in the future?
