Option 1

 * Article title: Rafflesia keithii
 * Article Evaluation
 * There was barely information on this topic other than a photo of the plant and where it can be found. I like the idea of possibly doing a parasitic plant, but this might require a lot of work. It would certainly be interesting to find more information on this species of parasitic plant.

 * Sources
 * I have been able to identify updated sources that I could use to better this article, which makes this parasite a possible contender.

Option 2

 * Article title: Syndiniales
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article has a little more information than the first, but not a lot. I found this parasitic group interesting because it part of the SAR group, which we began discussing in class briefly. I also find it interesting because it is connected to marine ecology (red tides).

Option 3

 * Article title: Acanthocheilonema viteae
 * Article Evaluation
 * So far there is not much information on this species of parasite. However, I found it interesting because the article did state that is considered a model to study human filarial infections. I think that there could be really good information on this topic if I did some digging. I am also interested in this topic because it has human/medical applications to it.

Option 4

 * Article title: Gnathiidae
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article was missing a decent amount of information and could use a significant amount of improvements. However, I was intrigued by this marine parasite because it is an arthropodic parasite.

 * This article has very little information on it. I was honestly mostly interested in it because of its name. I was able to find some sources about this parasite, but most of them were dated.
