Identify the following characteristics for your agent: Infectivity, Pathogenicity, Virulence, Toxigenicity, Resistance, and Antigenicity. Identify how many people are infected in Indiana, in the U.S., and World Wide each year by your agent. Identify three public health interventions to prevent the infection and spread of the agent. If you find news of an outbreak from the disease, include a short summary (3-5 sentences). Include at least one visual (map, chart, graph, etc.) A ‘good’ completed assignment should probably be 2-3 pages, although there is no minimum/maximum requirement. If you can answer all of the required points in two pages, that is acceptable. Cite references in APA style Scoring Rubric Required elements of the paper Points Possible Infectivity, Pathogenicity, Virulence, Toxigenicity, Resistance, and Antigenicity. 30 Number of people infected in Indiana, in the U.S., and World Wide each year 15 Three public health interventions identified 30 At least one visual (map, chart, graph, etc.) 15 Cite references (APA). 10 Total 100
