A. Select one of the following communicable diseases that has had an outbreak across international borders:
• Ebola virus
**This specific outbreak must have occurred within the last 50 years and includes human to human transmission across at least one international border.**
B. Describe the outbreak of the disease selected in part A, including each of the following:
• the name of the disease
• the country where the outbreak originated and the date it was first discovered
• the other countries involved and the date the outbreak reached each country
Make sure that you address one specific outbreak rather than the history or multiple outbreaks of the communicable disease, such as an entire epidemic/pandemic.
** Analyze the impact of a hypothetical outbreak on your community at a systems level including the effects on local government, schools, businesses, and hospitals/health care systems.
1. Analyze the epidemiological determinants and risk factors associated with the outbreak.
2. Discuss the route of transmission of the selected disease.
3. Discuss how an outbreak of the selected disease would impact your community at a systems level (e.g., the functioning of schools, local government, businesses, hospitals). (This is a hypothetical situation (your thoughts and opinions) of the impact at a systems level if the selected disease outbreak occurred in your community.)
4. Explain what the reporting protocol would be if an outbreak of the selected disease were to occur in your community.
5. Discuss two strategies (e.g., patient education strategies, community education strategies) that you would recommend to prevent an outbreak of the selected disease in your community.
