Sabeti Lab featured in The New Yorker’s article by Richard Preston

Oct 23, 2014 |

Sabeti lab featured in The New Yorker’s article, The Ebola Wars: How genomics research can help contain the outbreak. by Richard Preston. Visit the link here .

 

The most dangerous outbreak of an emerging infectious disease since the appearance of H.I.V., in the early nineteen-eighties, seems to have begun on December 6, 2013, in the village of Meliandou, in Guinea, in West Africa, with the death of a two-year-old boy who was suffering from diarrhea and a fever. We now know that he was infected with Ebola virus. The virus is a parasite that lives, normally, in some as yet unidentified creature in the ecosystems of equatorial Africa. This creature is the natural host of Ebola; it could be a type of fruit bat, or some small animal that lives on the body of a bat—possibly a bloodsucking insect, a tick, or a mite.
