BIO 203 Class Presentations
Create a 10 minute powerpoint presentation (that you will present in class) about a specific disease (you
may choose any from Chapters 19, 20, 24, or 25 of our textbook; the only exception being you may not
choose measles, polio, monkeypox, or pertussis). You should discuss the type of microbe that causes the
disease in detail. Describe the type of test used to diagnose the disease. Tell us about the microbe and
its characteristic. Tell us the symptoms of the disease. Tell us how the immune system may react to the
disease. Describe the treatments/cures if there are any. You may also include current research into
cures or alleviation of symptoms and the history of the disease.
The presentation should be at least 15 slides long.
Please let me know your topic by November 3rd (each disease can only be done by one person)
You will need to turn in your powerpoint presentation to me via email the by the day before your
presentation.
We will give presentations during class (and part of lab time), the weeks of November 27th and
December 4th. As the date gets closer, we will have a sign up sheet for which day you will give your
presentation. Please note, if we go to an online format for lecture, you may just be turning in the
powerpoint and not giving an oral presentation (if this occurs you will need to include all the details in
the slides themselves or the notes portion at the bottom of the slides).
The microbe I want you to talk about is “Neisseria meningitidis (bacterial meningitis)
