|
| ==Description of Niche== | | ==Introduction== |
| | Briefly introduce your topic |
|
| |
|
| ===Where located?===
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Physical Conditions?=== | | ==Description of the Disease== |
| What are the conditions in your niche? Temperature, pressure, pH, moisture, etc.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Influence by Adjacent Communities (if any)=== | | ===Microbe that causes the disease=== |
| Is your niche close to another niche or influenced by another community of organisms?
| | ===How it is transmitted=== |
| | ===What can prevent it=== |
|
| |
|
| ===Conditions under which the environment changes=== | | ==Why is this disease a problem in (name of country)== |
| Do any of the physical conditions change? Are there chemicals, other organisms, nutrients, etc. that might change the community of your niche. | | Do lifestyle/environment/economics/political issues play a role? |
|
| |
|
| ==Who lives there?== | | ==What is being done to address this disease== |
| | |
| ===Which microbes are present?===
| |
| You may refer to organisms by genus or by genus and species, depending upon how detailed the your information might be. If there is already a microbewiki page describing that organism, make a link to it.
| |
| | |
| ===Are there any other non-microbes present?===
| |
| Plants? Animals? Fungi? etc.
| |
| | |
| ===Do the microbes that are present interact with each other?===
| |
| Describe any negative (competition) or positive (symbiosis) behavior
| |
| | |
| ===Do the microbes change their environment?===
| |
| Do they alter pH, attach to surfaces, secrete anything, etc. etc.
| |
| | |
| ===Do the microbes carry out any metabolism that affects their environment?===
| |
| Do they ferment sugars to produce acid, break down large molecules, fix nitrogen, etc. etc.
| |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| ==Current Research==
| |
| | |
| Enter summaries of the most recent research.
| |
| You may find it more appropriate to include this as a subsection under several of your other sections rather than separately here at the end.
| |
| You should include at least FOUR topics of research and summarize each in terms of the question being asked, the results so far, and the topics for future study. (more will be expected from larger groups than from smaller groups)
