The Necessity to Fund Researches on Brain-Eating Amoeba.

I need help creating a thesis and an outline on The Necessity to Fund Researches on Brain-Eating Amoeba. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. The amoeba is mostly found in warm freshwater areas. it is known to survive at temperatures as high as 113 degrees Fahrenheit, they breed in puddles, warm lakes, household and spa water that has not to be treated. The amoeba gets into the brain by passing through the nose into the brain where 7 days after exposure, the victim begins to experience symptoms (Viegas). They are similar to those of viral meningitis and include. headaches, fever as well as hallucinations blurred vision and others depending on the individual’s physiology. Various treatments have been experimented on with some degree of success. some doctors treat it using powerful antibiotics and blood transfusions. However, while this has been known to work, it is often a gamble between antibiotics and the amoeba, one that they have no way of controlling or manipulating to their advantage. One of the few Doctors in the world researching on the amoeba Dr. Cabral says it is very difficult to get funding since most funding bodies do not consider it a very serious threat (DePompa). Furthermore, pharmaceutical firms are especially reluctant to fund expensive research, which is unlikely to yield returns since its very low demand.
