The idea of something as small and insignificant as a mosquito being the key agent in recent epidemics is wholly mind-boggling to me.

Still a very young disease, the West Nile virus has already spread from one end of...

Ebola is an infectious and generally fatal disease which is marked by fever and severe hemorrhage; it spreads through contact with infected body fluids such as blood or other secretions from an infected person (or body of 'host'), either directly or indirectly through contaminated surfaces, needles or medical equipment. A patient is not contagious until he or she starts showing signs of the disease. For the first time, the Ebola outbreak in West Africa has brought our interest in the Ebola...

'Just give me a few viruses.' When young researcher Guido van der Groen went to his boss with that request in 1976, it marked the start of an improbable career as a virus hunter. A cheap thermos flask containing blood samples from a deceased Belgian missionary in Zaïre put him on the trail of a 'humdinger' of a virus: Ebola. In the autumn of 1976 he left for Africa with an international team to track down the deadly virus. With the recent devastating outbreak in West Africa, van der Groen ...
