![]() | Modern Transportation and Infectious Disease - MWV15 From your local bus route to international air travel, infectious diseases can spread across the globe in a matter of hours. In this video podcast episode filmed at the Koshland Science Museum in Washington, D.C., Stephen Eubank from the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute of Virginia Tech and Daniel Lucey from Georgetown University discuss the role of transportation in the spread of disease and examine the effectiveness of various measures to curb transmission. Stephen Eubank, Ph.D., is a project director at the Network Dynamics and Simulation Science Laboratory at the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute of Virginia Tech. His research focuses on modeling and simulating the spread of disease and regional transportation, and the analysis of complex systems. Daniel Lucey, M.D., M.P.H., is an adjunct professor in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at Georgetown University, where he is co-director of the master of science program in biohazardous threat agents and emerging infectious diseases. In recent years, his teaching focus has been on SARS, avian flu, and the threat of pandemic human influenza.

Hong Kong now finds itself at the forefront of the infectious disease knowledge generation. Both the Hong Kong Hospital Authority and the Hong Kong Centre for Health Protection identified an urgent need to develop a new information hub (Wiki) in order to manage infectious disease threats and promote knowledge sharing. http://www.livetech.hk/article.php?uid=8&do=showone&itemid=2773&type=blog |

![]() | Emerging Infections: How Epidemics Arise Tackling the complex causes of epidemics, Dr. Donald Ganem explains how mutations in genes and changes in the environment and human social behavior can give rise to new infectious diseases. He cites the influenza virus as an example of genetic changes that have led to epidemics and pandemics. He also shows the impact of weather on a 1993 outbreak of Hanta virus, describes the effect of human migration on the spread of smallpox, and examines what happened when the myxoma virus was introduced in Australia in the 1950s to control the rabbit population. |
![]() | Advances in Infectious Disease Vaccines New vaccines help protect against infectious diseases such as shingles and human papillomavirus. While shingles typically displays obvious symptoms, HPV often does not. Learn why it is now more important than ever to vaccinate for smallpox, a highly contagious disease caused by the variola virus that kills 30 percent of unvaccinated people. |

In this edition, Joe DeRisi, Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator at UCSF, explores the need to detect and contain diseases quickly. Learn about the hunt for emerging viruses such as SARS, the characterization of the malaria parasite, and how this work can translate into new drugs and vaccines.
