Nathan Wolfe's søgen efter junglevira

Most deadly viruses that threaten humans, including HIV, begin by jumping from animals in remote regions. Early detection programs now monitor thousands of hunters in Africa, collecting animal blood on filter paper to catch new viruses before they spread. Logging roads and global travel mean a virus found in a rural village can quickly become a global threat. Widespread surveillance and local engagement offer hope for preventing the next pandemic.
