Infectious Disease Group Project

The Task: Your team will research a specific infectious disease causing agent and inform classmates of its transmission and prevention via a "wiki" page.

Think of this wiki as a shared online whiteboard. Your entire group can share information using this wiki, making your research accessible to everyone. Play around with this wiki: Notice how you can add comments to a page, see what people have changed, and edit all the text.

Research Info: Your "Team" is required to distribute the work equally. You are ALL required to do research.
