  1. Overview of Infectious Disease Project

  2. Some guidelines • Make sure the design you use is readable and the text is large enough to see • Use animations where appropriate • Practice these, it should not be distracting! • Make sure the slides are not text heavy • You should have more to say than is on the slide • Make sure the pertinent information is on the slide • Do not read off of your slides • Have note cards or memorize what you are going to say • Include pictures • Make pictures relevant and refer to them in your presentation

  3. Pathogenan agent of disease, infectious organism • Bacteria • genus species and common name • Type of growth • rod (bacilli), sphere (cocci), spiral (spirilli) • Eukaryotes • genus species and common name • Fungus, Animalia, Protists • Virus • Viral name and common name • Retrovirus (RNA) or DNA virus (“Bacteria,” 2011)

  4. Methods of SpreadingHow does the infection get to the body? • vector - an organism that transfers a disease from reservoir to host. Is it through a bite, feces or urine? • airborne - droplets of pathogens are expelled into the air due to coughing, sneezing or talking • skin-skin - direct contact or indirect through showers, bed coverings, blankets etc . . . • sexual contact - through fluids or direct contact • contaminated food - improperly cooked or stored foods • contaminated water - water supply not cleaned properly

  5. Point of Infection Where does it affect the body? • For example • Liver • Respiratory Tract • Nervous System • Skin

  6. SymptomsWhat does the disease do to the host? What are the signs? • Include the symptoms of the disease • Ex. Fever, rash, blindness, death etc. . . • Some diseases have a progression • Explain how it changes as it manifests

  7. Treatment or Cure • Is there medication • What medications are used • How long does it take • Does it treat symptoms or the disease • Can the disease be cured

  8. Vaccine and PreventionHow to prevent from getting the disease or passing it on. • Vaccine • Is there a vaccine? • What is it? • How common is the vaccine? • When do you get vaccinated? • Who gets vaccinated? • Prevention • What steps can be taken not to get the disease or pass it on? (Vaccines and Prevention, 2011)

  9. Where in the World? • What areas is the disease most common? • Are there places that have eradicated the disease? • Have there been any recent outbreaks?

  10. Where in the US? (Forest Service, 2010)

  11. Interesting Facts • What about your disease is interesting?

  12. Turning in your Project • The PowerPoint MUST be in Velarde’s DROP BOX by 7:45 am Monday June 6th. My Computer>> Dropbox>>Physical Science>> Velarde>> Period • This has to be done from school and can be done Friday or Monday morning. • There will be a laptop in room 907 at lunch on Friday and beginning at 6:45 on Monday morning. • Emailed assignments will not be accepted • The file should be named by the disease and the presenters. • Example: Anthrax_Velarde_Chapman
