Press release

For those of you that haven't heard, there are some exciting things happening at the CSCHAH. Scientists here have discovered a vaccine that is effective at preventing infection from Marburg and Ebola viruses in non-human primates. This may lead to the production of a human vaccine. Marburg to date, has killed hundreds of people in Angola in the ongoing outbreak.

Here is a link to the press release from the Public Health Agency of Canada: http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/media/nr-rp/2005/2005_21_e.html

I also nearly failed to mention that I actually went to this press conference. That in itself was an interesting experience.
