Option 1

 * Article title
 * Medical entomology


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article has relevant content, is well written in a neutral tone, and has citations. However, the article lacks depth, and has outdated sources, as other wikipedians and myself has noted.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Insects in medicine Insects in medicine#:~:text=Many blood-feeding insects like,blood clot formation or thrombosis.


 * Article Evaluation
 * The content is written in a neutral tone, and has a wealth of content. The article is part of two wiki projects, in insects and in medicine, however some of the content seems to have been copied from another relevant Wikipedia page. More content could be added to the wealth of content already in the article.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Fish disease and parasites


 * Article Evaluation
 * A very strong article with a copious amount of content all relevant to the subject. Most of the source material for the article is recent and trustworthy. Many other wikipedians note the article's strength. More content on other fish diseases and their impact on humans could be added to this article to expand its scope.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Trichuris trichiura


 * Article Evaluation
 * A brief, but neutral and well structured article with strong content on the parasite. All claims have been backed with citations, and while other wikipedians noted some confusing misinformation it seems to have been resolved. This article could be fact checked and expanded upon in treatments to better improve it.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Dracunculus medinensis


 * Article Evaluation
 * A solid article with a good amount of relevant information on the parasite. It uses many reliable sources, however some of the claims as noted by other wikipedians were questionable. Most claims still did have citations. More information can be added and a fact check could be done in the Epidemiology, Pathology, and Treatment sections.
