OVERVIEW
For this assignment, you will select three infectious diseases for each of the Disease Fact Sheet Assignments. For the first assignment, you will choose three diseases from Category A, for the second, three diseases from Category B, and for the third, three diseases from Category C. The list of diseases comes from the Disease Fact Sheet: National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) Reference List. Students will thus create three fact sheets of three diseases each for a total of nine diseases throughout the course.
INSTRUCTION
In modules 3, 5, and 8, you will choose three infectious diseases (from Categories A, B, and C respectively).
Each assignment submission will include three disease fact sheets in the form of a single horizontal PowerPoint slide. The informational content in each fact sheet must be constructed with evidence from credible sources (peer-reviewed journal articles, books) and/or, authoritative organizational websites, such as the CDC, FDA, National Institutes of Health (NIH)/ National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID, etc. See the Disease Fact Sheet Example/Template for a sample of what your sheets might look like, but please feel free to be creative with your layout, providing all essential content is incorporated in your fact sheet design. Each fact sheet must contain the following essential information:
• the infectious agent (include family, genus, and species)
• transmission
• clinical features (signs and symptoms, etc.)
• laboratory diagnosis
• treatment
• geographic distribution
• population affected/at risk, occurrence (geographic distribution), and confirmed or estimated annual incidence of human cases.
• risk factors
