BH>I am beginning to study and read more and more on virology and origins
BH>of same. I am fascinated by Ebola virus as what it does to certain
BH>animal's/people's insides acts much like the polyoma virus in
BH>birds.
Have you read Ritchie's new Avian Viruses book? I just got it a couple
weeks ago, and haven't had time to sit down uninterrupted long enough to
finish the first chapter. But it's fascinating, and written for
aviculturists, so it's not all vet-jargon.
>"Outbreak" the book and movie fascinated me as did "The Hot
BH>Zone" a book about an Ebola outbreak in Washington DC in the
BH>1980's. Matter of factly I just saw that the two chief USAMRID
BH>(equivalent Army's version to CDC) veterinarians that handled the
BH>virology "hot" zone and lab in that outbreak are now breeding
BH>birds! I bet those birds are virally clean and tested!
I'd bet so too! That's interesting--what are they breeding, and
why did they decide to get into birds, I wonder?
