Epidemiology Assignment - History of Epidemics in the New World

This assignment "History of Epidemics in the Old World" to look at typical epidemics that we see in more recent times. We're going to add onto the same template some of the more recent epidemics. Hopefully you will be alert enough to notice how the trends have changed in more recent years.

1. Below you will find a list of epidemics that have affected the world population in more recent times, for example, since 1900. Choose 5-6 of these epidemics for further research. There are many to choose from, you can include as many as you wish, as long as you find at least 5.

Cholera
Spanish Flu (Influenza 1918-1919)
H1N1
Leprosy
Diphtheria
Ebola
Dengue fever
Measles
Typhus
Yellow Fever
Tuberculosis
Legionnaires
Malaria
Polio
Whooping Cough
TB
Chicken Pox
SARS
Lyme Disease
Scarlet Fever

2. Build on the Excel template that you used in the previous assignment (History of Epidemics in the Old World) Chart Epidemics in the Old World.xls . You can add onto the list you made last time or you can start with a fresh template. Fill in the spaces with information that you find on the internet to give a historical perspective to the impact that these more recent epidemics may have had on the affected populations. If you can not find the information, type "unkn" in the cell, but it will be reflected in your grade if you use the "unkn" option excessively. It may be easier to find information of the more recent epidemics, so you probably won't have many blank cells. [If you don't have access to Excel on you computer, you can make a table in Numbers (on a Mac) or just make a table in any word processing program.]

Note - Please follow the requirements.
