Include much of the information about Wolbachia that was provided to you…but please be concise! Slide 2: Describe the relevance of Wolbachia infections in insect populations to human health. Include: how Wolbachia infection in insect populations may directly or indirectly affect human health at least one filarial nematode and one viral disease mentioned Name the pathogens that cause the diseases. Name the vectors (insects) that carry these pathogens. Name the host organisms of Wolbachia. Identify the symbiotic relationships between Wolbachia and its hosts. Describe the relevance of Wolbachia infection of this host organism to the human viral disease and the human filariasis.

Want to earn more points on this section? Include information on ALL 4 of the diseases that were covered in this exercise (but be concise!) Slide 3: Describe the importance of this work. Include: why GSU Armstrong students as a collective are participating in this project why your individual experience with the project is important For full credit, make sure that these items are different! Don’t forget to include the research question: Is my insect infected with Wolbachia? Slide 4: Return to Part two of the lab exercise, and present your completed flowchart of the experimental design in a tabular or flow-chart format.

Include Exercise #s and dates as well as the topics! Use the table or flowchart features of PowerPoint and type in the information…that looks professional! Slide 5: Describe your method(s) and results of your insect collection. Include: date of collection time of collection location of collection environment (habitat) of collection method of collection Slide 6: You need to provide references for your work in the proper format. The PowerPoint Style Guide provides directions for how to do this, and these directions are also listed below. Use the CitationsCitationsCitations reminders also! Your assignment will lose a significant amount of points if you do not follow these directions.

Create a numbered list of references on this slide. Refer to the directions from Exercise 1 the proper format for citations, including citations for videos and lab manual chapters (be sure to cite the correct lab manual chapter). Remember to update author names and exercise titles when citing a lab manual chapter OTHER than exercise 1. This information is also in the CitationsCitationsCitations Folio file! You need to revisit the slides you’ve just created (slides 1-5 above) to add small superscript numbers next to information that you found from sources, such as your lab manual or the introductory video you watched for Prelab for this exercise.

Google directions for how to insert superscript text in PowerPoint if you don’t know how to do this! In the example below, the number 1 is in superscript notation: Wolbachia = bacterial Genus1 Each piece of information that you gathered from a source for your slides should be referenced in this way. Be sure to add citations for each slide! The small superscript number on the slides next to the information should correspond to the numbered source on slide 7 from which you found that piece of information. Example If you wrote something you learned from your lab manual on slide 1 about Wolbachia infection in mosquitoes, please a small superscript “1” by that information on slide 1.
