Survey the indoors and the outdoor perimeter of your living quarters (house, apartment building, dormitory, etc.) to determine any kind of pest infestation problems (rodents, cockroaches, bats, flies, mosquitoes, ticks, scorpions, etc.). Then find a peer- reviewed, primary research article on one of the infestation problems you found in your survey. Indicate the findings of the research in three tweets (less than 280 characters each). These tweets should be written for researchers and professionals. They should be scientific rather than social in nature. To support your tweets, include a short discussion (less than 100 words) identifying the topic and the epidemiological importance of the issue (incidence rate, death rate, prevalence, etc.). Be sure to provide a link to your research article. For your responses to your peers posts, indicate how principles of good sanitation and integrated pest management could be applied to alter the environment to prevent their infestations. Include any current changes with the evolving ecosystems and the altering climate patterns.
For this discussion:
- Initial post: 200-250 words
- References: Two or more references are required to support your assertions.
