Predicting Plagues with Global Viral Forecasting

http://www.economist.com/science/displaystory.cfm?story_id=10717931
Scanned by: Marisa Vitols over 3 years ago
To try to stop global pandemics like AIDS from spiraling out of control again, Dr Nathan Wolfe, a virologist at the University of California, Los Angeles, is attempting to create what he calls the Global Viral Forecasting Initiative (GVFI). This is still a pilot project, with only half a dozen sites in Africa and Asia. But he hopes, if he can raise the $50m he needs, to build it into a planet-wide network that can forecast epidemics before they happen, and thus let people prepare their defenses well in advance.
