Pathogens and Disease CPU
Introduction
 The Applied Technologies
Pathogens and Disease CPU introduces students to disease-causing agents and
epidemiology. Students culture
bacteria
and fungi and, using a microscope, examine and classify the
microorganisms they grow. Students explore diseases such as
smallpox, rabies, and AIDS to better understand the effect of pathogens
and disease on the population at large.
Through a simulated disease outbreak students perform the necessary procedures to identify, contain, and control an
epidemic. Activities include culturing and identifying bacteria and
fungi, analyzing data such as patient interviews and questionnaires,
creating an epidemic curve, and calculating attack rate and relative
risk for various exposures.
