Case: For this assignment, you will review and analyze a recent journal article (published within the last 5 years) from a peer-reviewed publication (e.g. American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, Emerging Infectious Diseases, and The Journal of Infectious Diseases) about a disease or topic found in the readings. You must evaluate the chosen paper against at least 4 other peer-reviewed sources.

For the review, you will select an article about a topic from Lyme Disease.

You will then compose a 4-5-page paper, not including the cover page and references, on your topic of choice. The goal of the assignment is to help link the current best practices identified in the ongoing developments of research reflected in the peer-reviewed literature in support of learning outcomes A and B. You should, therefore, choose articles related to current epidemiologic trends for infectious diseases and/or the impact of the diseases and of the control measures on global populations. Special attention should be devoted to understanding the role of infectious agents as causes of morbidity and mortality in the context of economically developing nations.

Be sure to include the following elements:

A clearly documented reference to best practices or standard of care

Reported findings are completely and fairly assessed and critiqued

A summary of the principal contents of the article under review

Adequate information to understand the central themes and recommendations

Paper, references, and citations all consistently follow current AMA formatting
