PROJECT:
The Malaria Controversy Knowledge:Integration:Experience
The University of
California at Berkeley
http://www.kie.berkeley.edu/
THE BIG PICTURE
The Purpose of Learning the Basics
Welcome to the "Malaria
Controversy" project. In this project,
you will
learn about three different strategies for
controlling the spread of
malaria. To prepare for your presentation,
you will carefully examine
evidence related to the malaria controversy.
But before you start looking at evidence,
you need to learn about
malaria: what is it, where is it prevalent,
and how do people catch it?

VIROLOGY and Avian species
West Nile: Coming to a Town Near You?
So many birds of different feathers have
tested positive for the
West Nile virus this year that scientists
from the U.S. Geological
Survey are saying the New York–based bug
is bound to spread
much farther south and west than was
expected. "West Nile virus
has been isolated from more than 63 species
of birds, including 53
free-ranging species from eight
states," stated Robert McClean,
director
of the U.S.G.S. National Wildlife Health
Center in Madison,
Wis.,
