NIAID Video: Tracking Ebola In The Congo

 

 

# 6601

 

Once again, Ebola has been in the news this summer with outbreaks both in Uganda (see here & here) and the Democratic Republic of The Congo (see here and here).

 

While the Uganda outbreak appears to be over, the DRC outbreak continues (see Crof’s recent report DR Congo: Ebola toll rises to 36).

 

Today the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) has posted a short (3 minute) video on their Youtube Channel that provides a fascinating look at the attempts of researchers to unravel the secrets of this hemorrhagic virus as they probe deep in the jungle.

 

 

 

Many government agencies maintain a presence on YouTube, where you can find tons of informative videos ranging from short PSAs to podcasts to full length webinars.

 

A few examples include:

And last, but not least, the World Health Organization also maintains a Youtube Channel.
