You will construct a comprehensive profile of a microorganism ( Zika Virus) using the guidance document below.
Provide written explanations of microbiological concepts in your own words. Your paper will also need to include a diagram that you create, demonstrating how your assigned microbe is transmitted. All written answers are expected to meet accepted standards for grammar, syntax, and punctuation, and the paper will be submitted in APA format. Proper microbiology terminology is also expected. Your answers are expected to include information from sources that go beyond the textbook or classroom. Examples include peer-reviewed journal articles, interviews with clinicians who deal with microbes daily, personal experiences, and other reputable sources. You are expected to clearly understand the meaning of each topic before you construct your answer. For example, you are expected to know the meaning of “epidemiology” and to understand the topics that are connected to it. Your pathogen profile paper will cover the following topics:
1. Description of the Microorganism (Zika Virus)
2. Virulence Factors
3. Immunity – which components of the immune system would protect the patient.
4. Infectious Disease Information
5. Epidemiology – diagram (original student created)
