Introduction

Electron micrograph of the Ebola Zaire virus. This was the first photo ever taken of the virus, on 10/13/1976. By Dr. F.A. Murphy, now at U.C. Davis, then at the CDC.

Neisseria meningitidis is a Gram-negative bacterium that is a member of the class, Betaproteobacteria. Neisseria are aerobic heterotrophic cocci and the cocci of Neisseria genus form diplococci [1]. Most members of the Neisseria genus are commensal organisms that colonize the nasal and oral mucosa of animals. 11 species of Neisseria colonize humans and only 2 are pathogens, Neiserria meningitidis, and Neiserria gonorrhoeae.

Introduce the topic of your paper. What is your research question? What experiments have addressed your question? Applications for medicine and/or environment?

Sample citations: [1] [2]

A citation code consists of a hyperlinked reference within "ref" begin and end codes.
To repeat the citation for other statements, the reference needs to have a names: "<ref name=aa>"
The repeated citation works like this, with a back slash.[1]

Invasive Behavior

Include some current research, with at least one figure showing data.

Every point of information REQUIRES CITATION using the citation tool shown above.

Signs and Symptoms

Include some current research, with at least one figure showing data.

Treatment and Prevention

Include some current research, with at least one figure showing data.

Metabolism and Virulence

Conclusion
