Choose a parasite to thoroughly research. You will be responsible for a 2-page paper as well as a slide deck presentation for your chosen parasite. You may work alone or with ONE partner. You will include an APA style References page at the end of your paper and as the last slide of your presentation. Use MyBib.com to keep track!
