Select one microorganism (a prokaryote, protest, or fungus) which has the potential to be used for bioterrorism. This microorganism should normally be pathogenic (meaning it causes disease in those that are exposed to it).

Question

1. Select one microorganism (a prokaryote, protest, or fungus) which has the potential to be used for bioterrorism. This microorganism should normally be pathogenic (meaning it causes disease in those that are exposed to it).

2. Design an infographic to show how the microorganism infects human/animal cells. This infographic should include all stages of the life cycle of this microorganism. May choose to create your infographic by hand or use digital tools such as Canva, Piktochart, Visme, Google Drawings, Microsoft word, or any other platform familiar with.

3. Write a fictitious letter to the government to explain how this microorganism can be destroyed/prevented. The intervention(s) that is/are chosen should be based on research and be applicable to a large - scale implementation strategy (i.e., if a bioterror microorganism kills all livestock to reduce protein supplies, then the intervention should be easily supplied to the livestock, such as in their water/food supply, to prevent them from getting sick). Propose a biological test that can be used to determine increased cases of the microorganism as part of your implementation strategy.

Need infographic ( with an APA-formatted reference list) and fictitious letter.

Infographic:

- The binomial nomenclature name of the pathogenic organism is provided.

- The parasitic life cycle of the pathogenic organism is visually displayed, with minimal text to explain the diagrams.

- All researched information should be cited using APA - formatted in-text citations, with an APA-formatted reference list.

Fictitious Letter to the Government:

- The letter is 300-450 words in length.

- The letter describes how a particular intervention (i.e., chemical drug and/or biological control) should be implemented if the microorganism is detected in above-average levels in the population, in order to stop the act of bioterrorism.

- The letter includes a biological test that can be used to determine increased cases of the microorganism, and describe how the test works.
