This is an article showing the different ways and the origin of some new viral infectious diseases. It goes along way to classify each viral disease according to where they are found and which host it invades most. It is an interesting article because it gets us to be more conscious about our environment and some possible diseases we can contact living in a particular population.

I loved this article. Viruses are amazing to me. I can't believe just when they thought "the infectious battle was won," AIDS then developed. I know one of the main labs is in Australia, but I wonder how they can predict what type of disease will surface and its severity? Really great post.
