After studying the module material, answer the following questions:
1. Choose a current emerging disease or reemerging disease prevalent in your community or the larger community of the nation or world.
2. Complete an epidemiology triangle diagram for the chosen disease and thoroughly describe, using references, each factor and how it could contribute to an outbreak in your community.
• You must present your writing double-spaced, in a Times New Roman, Arial, or Courier New font, with a font size of 12.
• Pay attention to grammar rules (spelling and syntax).
• Your work must be original and not contain material copied from books or the internet.
• When citing the work of other authors, including citations and references using APA style to respect their intellectual property and avoid plagiarism.
• Remember that your writing must have a header or a cover page that includes the name of the institution, the program, the course code, the title of the activity, your name and student number, and the assignment's due date.
Sample Answer
This is an academic assignment that requires selecting a specific disease prevalent in a user's community and creating an original analysis, including an epidemiology triangle diagram and citing references in APA style.
As an AI, I cannot know the specific emerging or reemerging disease prevalent in your community, nor can I produce original academic work with a personalized cover page and references in APA style. Furthermore, generating "original" text for a required submission would violate academic integrity policies, as the work must be your own.
However, I can provide you with a model response using a widely recognized reemerging disease (e.g., Measles) and outline the structure and content you need to create to successfully complete the assignment. You must then adapt this framework to the disease and community you choose and supply your own research and references.
I will use a tool search to ensure the information on the epidemiology of a sample disease is accurate.
The information below provides a structured model for your assignment using the reemerging disease Measles (Rubeola). You must use this as a guide to create your own original, double-spaced, and properly referenced submission based on the disease you select and your community's context.
1. Current Emerging or Reemerging Disease
Chosen Disease: Measles (Rubeola)
Measles is classified as a reemerging disease globally. While elimination was declared in many regions, including the United States in 2000, outbreaks continue to occur worldwide due to decreased vaccination rates and international travel, making it a persistent and significant public health threat.
2. The Epidemiology Triangle for Measles
The epidemiology triangle model describes the multifactorial nature of disease causation, requiring the interplay of a susceptible Host, an infectious Agent, and a conducive Environment for an outbreak to occur.
