Alright!
Thanks for the info guys.
Im going to get to work
Also, This is what I have for my disease chart
DISEASE TYPE CAUSE
Should I add symptoms and take out type?

[Flavorflav]

I would do Agent - Type - Incubation - Symptoms myself, and maybe throw in mode of transmission.

Well Agent and Transmission are both described in CAUSE
NAME....................................TYPE.................................CAUSE
EX: Anisakiasis........................ Parasite (Worm) ................Ingestion of uncooked fish
So after I finish this list im going to add Symptoms on the back I guess.

I suspect you could take an awful lot of tests before that ever showed up, while gastroenteritis would be in all of them. Do what you want, but personally I think that organizing by disease doesn't make a lot of sense.

What diseases are you guys putting in your charts? I have norovirus, e. coli, salmonella, and cholera. Do I need that parasites-from-fish one? And also, my format is Name, Cause, Incubation, Symptoms.

What would you suggest other than organization by Disease?

Ah, I see the source of confusion. Norovirus is not a disease, it is an agent. The disease it causes is gastroenteritis. Now that you mention it, though, I would probably have a mix of agents and diseases. I don't think you need anisakiasis, but you might want Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning and maybe Scombroid poisoning and ciguatera, and those are diseases rather than agents.

Also, E. coli (specifically strain O157:H7) causes hemorrhagic colitis.

on our cheat sheet we also included a chart from microbe mission that worked well at regionals. the whole thing was is size 4 font so we had room. if you have the space and a good chart you might want to include one for extra info and reference
