Outbreak Lesson #7

You have now arrived at the pointy end of the CBE outbreak. It is time for you to develop and put in place a program to control the disease and end the threat it poses to humans and crows alike.

Cavroadia's Health Minister has called on the scientific community to help stamp out the menace of CBE (see the latest article in The Curious Snail). Your task is to write a proposal detailing how you would go about keeping the disease under control. Keep in mind the following points :

The proposal has to be realistic - it needs to use real world technology
Cost - Cavroadia has a limited budget and the program has to be open to everyone
How wide ranging des it have to be ? Should everyone take part or are there certain groups who should be targetted. Is it just crows and human who are in danger ?
Human rights - keep in mind that some people might object if you get a bit heavy handed

Keep your proposal succinct - a brief outline of no more than 250 words should suffice. Make sure you critically analyse your proposal - point out its good points and bad points.

Use research to back up your statements - your Googling skills should be developed enough now that you should be able to find sites which investigate the pros and cons of different approaches to disease control. If you use a site, make sure you reference it appropriately (use the referencing styles from your annotated bibliography assignment).

Good luck - the fate of Cav Road depends upon you !
