1. For this assignment you will research an 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 reliable Internet references, plus any other
references used.

Project Content
A. What is the causative agent of the disease? Is it a bacterium,
a virus, a prion, or a eukaryote?
1. If it is a bacterium, what are the characteristics of the cell
(Gram-reaction?, cell shape and arrangement? metabolic
capabilities?).
2. If it is a virus, what are its characteristics (DNA, positive-

3. strand RNA, negative-strand RNA, or retrovirus? enveloped or
naked? how large is it? does it form a provirus? anyunique
characteristics of its multiplication cycle?).
3. If it is a prion, what is a prion? Wherein the body does it
occur? What is the function of the normal-type protein?
4. If it is eukaryote, is it a fungus, an alga, a protozoan, a
platyhelminth, or a nematode? Is it multicellular or unicellular?
What is its life cycle?
B. History: How long have we known about this disease?
1. Describe the changes in our knowledge and attitudes toward
this disease throughout history.
C. Epidemiology: Describe the prevalence and transmission of
this disease.
1. Where (in the world) is the disease prevalent? How many
people are currently infected? What is the rate of new
infections? What are the rates of morbidity and mortality?
2. What is (are) the reservoir(s) of the pathogen? What is (are)
the mode(s) of transmission?
D. Pathology: Describe the pathogenic effects on cells, tissues,
and organ systems.
1. Where in the body (what tissues/organs/cells) does the
pathogen affect?
2. What damage does the pathogen inflict? How is this damage
inflicted (is there direct
mechanical damage? is a toxin produced? does the immune
response cause damage?)?
3. What is the time sequence of the disease (length of
incubation, prodrome, illness, decline, and convalescence)?
4. What are the major signs and symptoms?
E. Response and Treatment
1. Describe the activity of our immune system against the
pathogen.
2. What types of medical treatments exist? Describe how these
treatments affect the progression of the disease.
3. Describe prophylactic measures that can be taken to limit the
risk of infection.

4. F. Socio-politico-economic
1. Describe any historic or present day social, economic, or
political issues that either help or hinder us in limiting the
spread of the disease.
2. Suggest policies and practices that can be employed to help
with limiting the spread of the disease. For each policy and
practice, describe what will be needed (what we have to
sacrifice) in order to properly implement the proposal.
G. References
Minimum five reliable Internet references, plus any other
references used
H. Literature cite, spelling and grammar
Any information that is not common knowledge (either directly
quoted or paraphrased) must be credited to the proper source.
APA format is required. Please check Edison State College
Library web site for APA format.

5. 1. Compare the value and drawbacks of surveillance methods
along with the types (moving, fixed, or combination) and
methods (around-the-clock or limited) of conducting
surveillance.
2. As a terrorist investigator, police officers should be on
familiar terms with the many types of items that can be
confiscated from trash (throw-away) situations. Explain how to
recover them as evidence.
3. Explain the twenty motives of those wishing to become
informants and whether they will be useful or harmful to the
investigation.
4. You are on the investigative surveillance team as a case
officer and must prepare a vehicle for surveillance duty. Study
the list in your text or Lecture Notes on how to prepare a drab,
plain-looking car so it will not be noticed and address the
following concerns:
a. Discuss all that needs to be taken into consideration to
transform the car.
b. Explain how to match the driver to the make of auto, van,
or truck and what works best.
c. How does changing the car's driver help disguise it?
PART II
Directions: For part two of assignment you are to discuss the
practice of Trash Cover in detail. Be sure to include when the
method would be utilized and the pros and cons of this
technique.
