Emerging Diseases, biology assignment help
-
Create a 3–4-page report on the basic environmental health principles, theories, and issues of an emerging or reemerging disease.
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
- Competency 1: Assess basic environmental health principles, theories, and issues.
- Analyze an emerging or reemerging disease.
- Describe how an emerging disease is transmitted.
- Describe the incubation period of an emerging disease.
- Describe how an emerging disease is treated.
- Predict prognosis of recovery and residual effects of an emerging disease.
- Assess the role of vaccines in disease prevention.
- Competency 4: Communicate effectively in a variety of formats.
- Write coherently to support a central idea in appropriate format with correct grammar, usage, and mechanics.
- Competency 1: Assess basic environmental health principles, theories, and issues.
