Learning Goal: I’m working on a microbiology discussion question and need support to help me learn.Emerging/Re-Emerging Infectious Diseases of HumansA pathogen is a biological agent that causes illness or disease to its host.An emerging disease is one that has occurred in a population for the first time and a re-emerging disease has existed previously but is rapidly increasing in the number of new cases or in a specific geographic range.This week, we will examine some emerging/re-emerging pathogens and diseases.Feel free to download the Grading Rubric.Do not edit your posts after the due dates because they will be marked late and points will be deducted from your discussion board grade.Include the word count in each of your posts (exclude the header, title, references list, etc.).For your main discussion post (first post)You must choose from among the emerging/re-emerging human pathogens below.
It is required of all students to reserve their discussion topic using the following procedure: Click Week 3 Discussion, above, to enter the Discussion.
Click Create Thread and type the number and scientific name of the organism you will discuss in the subject line to reserve your topic on a first come/first serve basis according to the classroom date/time stamp. Click Submit.
Repeat main posts on the same organism are not permitted.
To post your main discussion you will Reply to your topic intent post.
For the cellular organisms listed below, you need to start the first letter of the genus name with a capital letter and write all letters in the species name in lowercase letters and italicize both the genus and species names. For the acellular organisms listed below, start the first letter of the common name/species name of the virus with a capital letter. Do not italicize the common name/species name of the virus. It is not required to include the family or genus names of the virus in your posts but if you do you must start each name with a capital letter and italicize each name.Please choose one of the following emerging/re-emerging human pathogens for your main discussion:Acanthamoeba polyphaga
Anaplasma phagocytophilum
Australian bat lyssavirus
Bacillus anthracis
Bartonella henselae
Candida auris

D. You must find a credible resource that discusses why your pathogen/disease is classified as emerging or re-emerging. You need to discuss what type of microbe it is, what disease it causes, why the pathogen/disease is emerging or re-emerging, signs and symptoms, course of disease, treatment, and prevention.E. Your discussion should be well-written, in your own words, paraphrasing from only credible academic sources. You may not directly quote from your sources, minimum elaboration on the topic of a minimum of 300 words and maximum of 400 words. F. You must also cite your credible academic reference sources with parenthetical in-text citations, and provide full end ref information in APA 7th Edition format.G. Due by 11:59PM ET Friday 5/27, on any day of the week other than the days you post your two comments, to meet the minimum three day posting requirement.For your second post:
You will respond to another classmate with a substantive comment to move the science discussion forward in minimum 100, maximum 150 words in an area you are interested in after reading the main discussion.
Again, you should provide student original writing, paraphrasing from credible sources, cite your source for this post with parenthetical in-text citations, and provide full end ref information in APA 7th Edition format.
Due by 11:59PM ET Saturday 5/28, on any day of the week other than the day you posted your main discussion and second comment, to meet the minimum three day posting requirement.
For your third post:You will respond to another classmate with a substantive comment to move the science discussion forward in minimum 100, maximum 150 words in an area you are interested in after reading the main discussion.
Again, you should provide student original writing, paraphrasing from credible sources, cite your source for this post with parenthetical in-text citations, and provide full end ref information in APA 7th Edition format.
Due by 11:59PM ET Sunday 5/29, on any day of the week other than the day you posted your main discussion and first comment, to meet the minimum three day posting requirement.
HELPFUL TIPSPlease refer to the Getting Started area of the classroom for information on Credible References and APA 7th Edition format under course resources.
You may never use Wikipedia or any other Open Source to support your college level work. All assignments using these will earn zero score.
You must paraphrase from all sources as direct quotation is not acceptable in science writing.
It is highly suggested that you use the Safe Assign tool located in the Keiser Online Writing Laboratory (OWL) to check your writing for effective paraphrasing before submitting to the public discussion.
Please check the Getting Started area of the classroom for a copy of the Discussion Grading Rubric and your instructor’s Course Expectations.
