What the scientific name is of the organism (i.e. genus and species). Please include a description of the organism as well as a picture of the organism if available. Pictures of material related to the organism can be included, however, the space that the pictures take up cannot be included towards the length of the paper.

The report should be more than two pages in length, but a maximum of four pages long (not including pictures and references). All text should be 12 point font and single spaced with 1 inch margins.

Format for Research Reports – Each student will write his or her own research report based on the organism that they are assigned. Each written report should consist of the following sections that should be identified using the following word/wording.

Title The title should be the name of the organism that is the subject of your report.

Disease The name of the disease(s) that the organism causes.

Common Disease Name – If applicable, the disease name used to commonly describe the organism.

Causative Organism(s) – What the scientific name is of the organism (i.e. genus and species). Please include a description of the organism as well as a picture of the organism if available. Pictures of material related to the organism can be included, however, the space that the pictures take up cannot be included towards the length of the paper.

Virulence Factors – Please list all virulence factors that the organism uses to promote the disease state i.e. Glycoprotein Spikes, ability to change genetically. Also, please make sure to include a description of the virulence factors in this report.

Pathogenesis – Please describe the complete progression of the disease caused by this organism including but not limited to the organisms portal of entry, portal of exit, where it lives in the body, reservoirs etc.

Transmission and Epidemiology – Please describe how the organism is transmitted from individual to individual or from reservoir to individual and back to reservoir. In addition, please include the epidemiology of the organism covering things such as the age, location, and quantity of the world population it infects.

Treatment – Please list the treatments that are currently available for controlling the disease and the targets of the treatment i.e. disrupting the peptidoglycan layer. In addition, please include problems that may have evolved in relation to treating the disease such as antibiotic resistance, difficulty in identifying treatment targets etc.

References Please include a list of references you used to create your report using APA citation style (Check this website for examples: http://www.library.cornell.edu/resrch/citmanage/apa). A minimum of 3 references should be cited (at least one should be a reference different than your book or the internet). Please do not use Wikipedia or Youtube as a reference!

Terms – You must also properly utilize at least 5 terms that you have learned during this course in the report. Please use a change in format, such as color, bold, underline, italics etc. to indicate that the term refers to something you learned in class i.e. virulence factor, capsid, cell wall.
