Vector-borne Disease Analysis
Description:
Discuss a vector-borne illness with an emphasis on the life-cycle of the pathogenic microorganism. You will take an analytical approach to explore the life cycles of vector-born pathogens. Using this knowledge, determine what steps could be employed to decrease the risk of infection and limit morbidity/mortality.
Objectives:
Describe a vector-borne illness, with an emphasis on the type of vector involved, the life cycle of the pathogen and the treatment/prevention methods employed.
Instructions:
Respond to the following prompts.
Describe a vector-borne pathogen, including the specific vector involved in transmission and a short summary of the life cycle. Based on your knowledge of the life cycle and the vector involved, what methods would you employ to limit your risk of being infected? If you were to be infected with this pathogen, what are the most effective treatment options?
