Lethal plague outbreaks among Siberian hunter-gatherers 5,500 years ago, well outside the sphere of Late Neolithic Europe, challenges the notion that higher population densities during the Neolithic agricultural transition were prerequisites for plague epidemics #PlagueHistory #Neolithic #SiberianHunterGatherers #RU
A Bundibugyo vaccine could help to control this epidemic and strengthen preparedness for future outbreaks.
Three Ebola vaccines are currently under development to address the Bundibugyo species amid an outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo that has claimed nearly 250 lives, with concerns growing that it could escalate into one of the worst outbreaks in history due to limited healthcare resources in the conflict zone where it was detected. #EbolaVaccine #PublicHealth #OutbreakResponse
