Don't look at me too funny, but along with my various other obsessions, I have a thing about bugs. No, no, not those kind, the other ones: communicable disease. My fave are the filoviruses [Ebola, Marburg], but I have a new appreciation for the long under-appreciated tularemia and other bacteria as well.
Sigh. So many possible careers, so little time.
If you're interested on keeping your finger on the pulse of the world, disease-wise, consider subscribing to the Weekly Epidemiological Record.
Fascinating stuff. It amazes me that we even manage to live at all, sometimes.
The Weekly Epidemiological Record (WER) serves as an essential instrument for the rapid and accurate dissemination of epidemiological information on cases and outbreaks of diseases under the International Health Regulations, other communicable diseases of public health importance, including the newly emerging or re-emerging infections, non-communicable diseases and other health problems.
The WER is distributed every Friday in a bilingual English/French edition.
To SUBSCRIBE: please send a message to majordomo@who.int with the command "subscribe wer-reh" as the only text of the message. To add an address other than the one from which you are sending the request, give that address in the command, e.g."subscribe wer-reh emailadd@dom.com".
