Médecins Sans Frontières in West Africa

“2015 was a very busy year for emerging infectious diseases.” - Steven Hatfill, MD

Dedicating his lecture to Médecins Sans Frontières, for their heroic actions in West Africa, Dr. Hatfill spoke to a captivated audience at the 33rd Annual Conference of Doctors for Disaster Preparedness in California about the 43 newly emerging infectious diseases that jumped to a larger geographic area from their wild animal hosts to human populations in the past 30 years.

Thank you for posting this.
I was wondering about what’s been learned from last year’s big Ebola outbreak.
This article provides a good prolog summary and expected outlook.

Thanks for the ping. Finally finishing a program project grant proposal for my better half. If you every have trouble sleeping, ask me about the poorly described non-pyruvate pathways in the TCA cycle.
