For this assignment you will research a
infectious disease and create a PowerPoint presentation on the findings by
providing the following for the chosen
disease:
• disease name, means of transmission and usual reservoirs
• etiologic agent, its general characteristics and key tests
for identification (be specific for this microbe!)
• historical information to include when and who isolated the
microbe and any significance of its name
• signs and symptoms of the disease
• microbial virulence mechanisms contributing to the disease
process
• control or treatment for the disease
• current outbreaks or cases, both globally and locally
(include incidence figures for each)
• prevention, particularly current research about a vaccine or
other means of control/prevention
• minimum five reliableInternet references, plus any
other references used.
Your presentation will be graded using
the following criteria:
