Biology Week 5 Assignment 1

(a) Name of disease/disorder.

(b) Disease etiology (what is the origin or cause?), why is the disease/disorder communicable or noncommunicable in nature?

(c) Three credible sources from journal articles or book chapters for each disease/condition (a total of six credible sources). Include evidence behind what makes your disease/disorder either communicable or noncommunicable in nature, and why are they leading causes of death in 2019. Please review the UMGC resource ”
Is My Source Credible”. Sources need to be credible in order to receive points.

(d) In 3-4 sentences for each source, explain the information you learned that supports your diseases/disorders are top public health threats. You will need to obtain disease/disorder information for your choices that specifically addresses why they are communicable or non-communicable in nature (include risk factors, symptoms, and physiological changes).

(e) Written in your own words (less than 20% quoted material). (f) Cite the four sources in APA format. Provide full citations to ensure that your instructor can access the full article or book chapter, or upload the articles or chapters with your submission. To cite in APA format, include in-text and end-of-text citations. See https://libguides.umgc.edu/apa-examples .
