USU SCIENTISTS DEVELOP VACCINE CANDIDATE FOR DEADLY ‘CONTAGION’ VIRUS
VaccineAn American woman died after a business trip to Hong Kong and her husband and doctors had no idea why. Shortly afterwards, there was an outbreak of a mysterious virus in Hong Kong, which then began to spread throughout the world. Teams from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization worked feverishly to determine exactly what the biological pathogen was and how it spread. It was eventually traced back to pork served in a Chinese restaurant in which the woman had eaten. The pig had been bitten by a fruit bat and when butchered, its blood infected the chef who then passed it on to the woman when shaking her hands, and she, in turn, spread it to others until it spread out of control.
