• Review global news and find an article that discusses a relationship between a microorganism/virus and the health of another animal (which may include humans! – this may include positive or negative impacts)
• Review posts already made by your peers. Repeat topics will not count, so make sure that you do not choose a topic your peers have discussed already. ** You may Post  the first 2 steps (One sentence description of the issue and APA citation) to claim  so that someone else does not post a similar topic while you are preparing your post. You can then go to your original post, edit it, and add the remaining parts of your post.
• Your final discussion post should be numbered or bulleted and include each of these sections in order:
  1. One sentence description of the relationship between the microorganisms/virus and the animal.
  2. APA citation of the article your read
  3. Description of the organism or virus discussed in the article
  4. Summary of the relationship, the organisms that are affected, and the impact of the microorganism/virus
  5. If possible, provide steps taken to mitigate or improve the relationship
