7. Describe the portals of entry and exit for microbial pathogens. Describe how bacterial adhesins affect the preferred entry portal of pathogens. Describe how a pathogen could use an exit portal different from the portal used to enter the host. 8. Characterize host traits that can impact susceptibility to disease (Provide at least 5 examples). 9. Explain how climate change can alter infectious disease patterns. Provide a clear/concise example of climate change altering an infectious disease. 10.Using the paper Global rise in human infectious disease outbreaks" and the chapter 2 PowerPoint, describe the overall trends of disease outbreak in regards to the number of outbreaks, host type, pathogen taxonomy, and transmission mode. Explain 4 reasons why diseases are increasing. Use the figure posted in chapter 2 blackboard folder entitled "outbreaks" and class discussion. Give 4 reasons for these trends.
