GOING VIRAL!

PROJECT: Research a virus of your choice and find the following: –1. Classification, shape (envelope?), DNA or RNA –2. Replication method-( lytic, lysogenic, latent) –3. Target organ or tissue –4. Method of transmission –5. Disease and symptoms –6. Treatment / vaccine –7.Geographical origin / date of first documentation –8. Last known cases-where and when

Create: –1. Virus Tag –2. Viral comic strip Title Panel (book cover): Project title (including the infection name), team members Cause Panel: What type of virus causes the infection? Pathogen Characteristics Panel: Describe the- virus (normal or retrovirus), shape (envelope?), DNA or RNA Host Slide: Who is affected by the virus affect? Life Cycle Panel: What are the stages of life of the virus? Replication method-( lytic, lysogenic, latent Symptom Panel: What disease does it cause? What are the effects on the body? What parts of the body are affected? Target organ or tissue Treatment Panel: Vaccine? Other medicine? Diagnosis Panel: What tests are done? Transmission Panel: How is the infection acquired? Prevention Panel: What can be done to prevent getting this infection? Article Panel: Geographical origin / date of first documentation. Last known cases- where and when? Presentation: Do you have illustrations or graphics for each panel? Is the information legible and neat?
