Will Ebola change the game? Ten essential reforms before the next pandemic. The report of the Harvard-LSHTM Independent Panel on the Global Response to Ebola
The west African Ebola epidemic that began in 2013 exposed deep inadequacies in the national and international institutions responsible for protecting the public from the far-reaching human, social, economic, and political consequences of infectious disease outbreaks. The Ebola epidemic raised a crucial question: what reforms are needed to mend the fragile global system for outbreak prevention and response, rebuild confidence, and prevent future …
The Next Pandemic
SCI ENTI ST S HAVE long forecast the appearance of an influenza virus capable of infecting 40 percent of the world's human population and killing unimaginable numbers. Recently, a new strain, HSN1 avian influenza, has shown all the earmarks of becoming that disease. Until now, it has largely been confined to certain bird species, but that may be changing. The havoc such a disease could wreak is commonly compared to the devastation of the 1918-19 …
The Lessons of HIV/Aids
IF THE deadly bird flu discussed in the previous three essays were ever to sweep across the world, the impact on national security would be obvious everywhere. Nations rich and poor would quickly recognize the vulnerabilities of their citizens, economies, public health systems, and armed forces. But what about the security implications of an existing pandemic, HIV/AIDS, the full impact of which is taking years to be felt? When the disease first s…

Betrayal of Trust
The Nightmare of Bioterrorism
As the twenty-first century begins, the following nations possess biological weapons: Iraq, Iran, Syria, Libya, China, North Korea, Russia, Israel, Taiwan, and possibly Sudan, India, Pakistan, and Kazakhstan. The list cuts across lines of ideology, politics, and geography. In addition, according to intelligence sources in Europe and the United States, militant political groups across the globe are now developing or seeking to purchase biological …

Runaway Diseases and the Human Hand behind Them
The Return of Infectious Disease
Since World War II, public health strategy has focused on the eradication of microbes. Using powerful medical weaponry developed during the postwar period — antibiotics, antimalarials and vaccines — political and scientific leaders in the United States and around the world pursued a military-style campaign to obliterate viral, bacterial and parasitic enemies. The goal was nothing less than pushing humanity through what was termed the ‘health tran…
The coming plague
An exploration of the battle against microbes, based on research in virology, molecular biology, disease ecology, and medicine, examines the current outbreak of infectious diseases and outlines what can be done to prevent the coming plague.
