This activity explores images of bats with an infectious fungal disease, which serve as phenomena for learning about population dynamics and disease impacts.

This activity complements the video Virus Hunter: Monitoring Nipah Virus in Bat Populations. Students explore cases of Nipah virus infection, analyze evidence, and make calculations and predictions based on data.

This hands-on activity allows students to analyze DNA sequences of Ebola viruses. Students use these sequences to track the virus’s spread during the 2013–2016 Ebola outbreak in West Africa.

This activity is a game that enacts the complexity of viral infections that involve different vectors and hosts.

In this lab activity, students rear mosquitoes to test variables that might affect the mosquito life cycle.

In this activity, students study the mosquito life cycle by breeding and observing them and then demonstrate how these data could be used to inform public policy.
