| ==Characteristics of the symbiont/pathogen==
| |
| What kind of microbe is it (eg Cell morphology, shape, phylogenetic classification)? Is its genome sequenced, and if so, how big is the genome?
| |
| ==Characteristics of the host==
| |
| What host/s is/are involved? Is there host specificity? Are there secondary reservoirs?

|
| ==Host-Symbiont Interaction ==
| |
| What kind of interaction do host and symbiont have? How is the host affected by the relationship? How does the host acquire and transmit the symbiont? Is the interaction obligate or facultative?
| |
| ==Molecular Insights into the Symbiosis==
| |
| Describe molecular/genetic studies on the symbiosis.
| |
| ==Ecological and Evolutionary Aspects ==
| |
| What is the evolutionary history of the interaction? Do particular environmental factors play a role in regulating the symbiosis?
| |
| ==Recent Discoveries==
| |
| Describe two findings on the symbiosis published within the last two years.
