CIDRAP (Center For Infectious Disease Research & Policy) at the University of Minnesota has some of the smartest infectious disease scientists, and reporters, around.

 

Led by Dr. Michael Osterholm, their avian flu resources are second to none, but they also have great information on other infectious diseases as well.
