Viral outbreak [videorecording] : the science of emerging disease / by Ashby, Wally.drt; DeRisi, Joseph L.; Harris, Eva.; Liu, Dennis W. C.pro(CARDINAL)327036; Sutherland, Ann DeStefano.pro; Howard Hughes Medical Institute.(CARDINAL)274867; Sutherland Media Productions.(CARDINAL)332483;
Lectures presented by Dr. Joseph L. DeRisi and Dr. Eva Harris.Recorded at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, December 2010.Infectious diseases are a serious threat to world health. They are particularly devastating in tropical countries where infectious agents thrive and where healthcare resources are stretched thin. The warming trend in the global climate, coupled with increased international travel, has resulted in infectious outbreaks that spread more rapidly and that now affect regions with more temperate climates, including the United States. Many diseases that had been contained, such as dengue fever, have re-emerged as global health threats. How can scientific research help us detect and fight potential epidemics?DVD.System requirements for CD-ROM: Windows: XP, VIsta or 7, Pentium IV or AMD Athlon, 1 GB RAM, open GL driver, 600 MB disk space, 800x600 display resolution ; Apple MAC: Mac OS X 10.5.8, 10.6.5 or newer, PPC or Intel processor, 1 GB RAM, 400 MB disk space, 800x600 display resolution, ATI or NVIDIA graphics recommended.
