$15.00
Description
With the increased mobility of human populations, diseases can quickly spread around the world. In addition, changes in vaccination practices have revealed an increase in communicable diseases that were once thought to be under control. These global health issues present new problems for community health officials.
In the Bentonville simulation, you learned how an influenza virus impacted the community. You will provide a PDF report of your completed activities.
In this task, you will also analyze an outbreak of a specific global communicable disease that occurred in the last 50 years that crossed international borders (e.g., the measles outbreak that moved from the Philippines to the United States).
Your submission must be your original work. No more than a combined total of 30% of the submission and no more than a 10% match to any one individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. An originality report is provided when you submit your task that can be used as a guide

Solution
Community Outbreak
Communicable Disease
With the increased mobility of human populations, diseases can quickly spread around the world. In addition, changes in vaccination practices have revealed an increase in communicable diseases that were once thought to be under control. These global health issues present new problems for community health officials. The global communicable disease analyzed in this task is Ebola.
Description of Outbreak
The name of the chosen communicable disease is Ebola Virus. Ebola Virus gets its name from the Ebola River in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) where it was first discovered in 1976. Ebola virus was first discovered in 1976 following two simultaneous outbreaks in two different countries (Jacob et al, 2020). The first two countries to be involved were DRC and South Sudan. Since 1976, Ebola Virus has spread periodically, infecting people in a number of countries in Africa. In addition to DRC and South Sudan, countries such as Guinea, Gabon, Liberia, Nigeria and Cote D’Ivoire, Sierra Leone and South Africa have been involved. Other Western and European countries have been involved too, including United States, United Kingdom, Russia and Italy. In both South Sudan and DRC, the first case was reported in 1976. In the same year, one case of Ebola Virus was reported in United Kingdom following an accidental laboratory infection from a contaminated needle. In Philippine, the infection was reported in 1989. In 1994, another case was reported in Cote d’ivoire after a scientist became infected with the virus. Gabon reported its first cases of Ebola Virus in 1995 following an outbreak in a number of gold mining villages (Dietz, Jambai, Paweska, Yoti & Ksaizek, 2015). In 1996, Russia reported its first case after a laboratory worker was infected with the virus. The 2013-2016 Ebola outbreak is regarded as the worst Ebola outbreak………………….Click the purchase icon above to purchase full solution at $15
