A lab analyst\'s job can vary greatly from day to day and can require very specialized training.
In extreme circumstances like disease outbreak, lab personnel can work with epidemiologists
establish timelines of incidence, to determine etiological agents, and to distinguish mode of
transmission. In times of more routine operations, public health lab analysts can work in a or
research setting to process incoming samples and to use various technologies for test procedures.
This activity will help you approach important viral diseases and their associated etiological
agents from the perspective of a public health lab analyst, like one that may be found at the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Michael, a new lab analyst, receives an
email notifying him that his expected samples from a recent outbreak should be arriving soon. To
prepare for his analysis, he decides to look what type of diseases could be spread between
animals and humans, as this is a new field for him. Michael has received limited information
about the details of the outbreak from the epidemiologists that traveled to the site, but he does
know that both animals and humans were infected by some type of virus. Michael looks through
some of the lab manuals on how the samples will be handled once in the lab. While reading
through these guidelines, he realizes that there are some terms he is not quite sure of. Below are
sentences that reflect the terms that Michael had to acquaint himself with while reading through
the published guidelines from his laboratory. Please review the sentences below and fill in the
