Go to the World Health Organization (http://www.who.int/health-topics/idindex.hum) web site. Look up the current status of Ebola and Leishmaniasis, and compare them to a disease (of your choice) that occurs closer to where you live (consult Figure 8.6 in your text for information). You may also use other websites for information regarding the three diseases. Address the following in your paper:

What organisms cause the three diseases?

What is their current distribution and prevalence?

What environmental (think of natural environment, not their home environment) and social factors (that affect the environment) contribute to their spread?

Does any treatment exist for the diseases?

Guidelines:

1 or more pages in length not counting the title header or literature cited
Times New Roman font
10-point font size
Double-spaced lines
Standard style formatting of your choice (MLA, APA, Chicago, etc.)
Include all references used (these can be your text, other books, online sources, etc.)
