Using the APA template that I will provide in the Canvas announcements page, write an informative
paper about the particular epidemic you have chosen, focusing on the disease itself. The paper must
include the following:
an introductory paragraph providing basic facts and statistical data about the illness
information about the causative agent
information about symptoms
information about the pathophysiology of the disease
information about treatments
information about prevention measures
This is the scientific/mathematical portion of the paper, so make sure you get highly scientific about the
disease (whether viral or bacterial). It should sound more like a scientific journal article than a Web MD
article.
For this section of the paper, you will not be focusing on the particular outbreak assigned or the time
period of that outbreak. Instead, you will focus on the current medical science regarding the virus or
bacteria that you’re writing about. For example, if your topic is the Black Death, do not discuss what the
treatments were in the 14th century. Instead, discuss the treatments available today for treating that
bacterial infection.

Do not include subtitles for the subcategories listed. Instead, make sure that your paper flows
seamlessly from paragraph to paragraph, transitioning from point to point.
You will need a minimum of 6 sources for this paper, and at least 4 of your sources must be peer-
reviewed journal articles from the library databases. Make sure that you carefully format, reference, and
cite in APA style, and also remember to paraphrase the information rather than quoting it.
Length requirement – 5 to 7 pages
