Scenario: You are working as an epidemiologist for the CDC trying to study a newly discovered virus that is causing an outbreak of disease in humans. While performing field work during this surveillance, you capture a rodent and are able to detect the virus in the feces of this animal.  You believe that this animal is the reservoir host of the virus.   a.  Detail the scientific steps you would take in order to confirm that the newly discovered virus is unequivocally the etiologic agent of this new disease.
