1 Warm Up March 17 th, 2014 1)What is an outbreak? Which would be an easier outbreak to stop: bacteria or parasite and explain why. 2)Explain one way a fungus cell is different from a plant and one way it is different from an animal cell. 3)Is a virus a parasite? Why? What is the main reason we do not considered viruses to be ‘alive’?

2 Greek and Latin Derivatives (III)* DerivativeTranslation 31) -osis abnormal condition 32) in- not 33) -flu- flow 34) -ium part of the body 35) myc- fungus

3 Disease* An abnormal condition that affects the body of an organism. Outbreak* When a disease occurs in greater numbers than expected in a community, region, or during a season

4 CDC – Influenza Outbreak 13-14

5 CDC – 4 Weeks Later (1 Month)

6 CDC – 5 Weeks Later

7 CDC – 7 Weeks Later

8 CDC – 8 Weeks Later (2 Months)

9 CDC – 10 Weeks Later

10 CDC – 12 Weeks Later (3 Months)

11 CDC – 14 Weeks Later

12 CDC – 16 Weeks Later (4 Months)

13 CDC – 18 Weeks Later

14 CDC – 20 Weeks Later (5 Months)

15 Epidemic* The widespread occurrence of an infectious disease within a community.

16 Pandemic* The widespread occurrence of an infectious disease across multiple human populations (continents).

17 The difference between the two A pandemic is just a more widespread epidemic. Epidemic = Local Pandemic = Global

18 Vaccine* A preventative way to improve immunity to a particular disease strain.

19 What are the factors in whether a disease is spreading effectively? Is it a virus? A bacterium? A parasite? Fungus? How about whether it’s contagious via touch? Airborne? Waterborne? Insect- vector? Transmitted via body fluids? Consider these factors as you play ‘Infection: Bio War’

20 Infection: Bio War The objective is to create a plague that will wipe out humanity. Depending on what options you choose and how you engineer your plague can determine it’s effectiveness. Play in groups of 2-3, with everyone placing input into your decisions and taking turns handling the Ipads. If you succeed, please allow me to confirm.
