Abstract
An avian influenza epidemic will almost certainly begin where poultry is slaughtered in poorly managed, unsanitary conditions. This semi-dramatized program starts in rural Cambodia, where a mutated H5N1 virus spreads easily from an infected chicken into the local population and prompts a swift response from World Health Organization field workers. Depicting the WHO containment strategy in detail, the program also illustrates how a single wayward villager could render all such measures useless, despite the best efforts of science and the international community. Dr. Gregory Poland, director of the Mayo Vaccine Research Group, explains the science of cross-species infection, while Dr. Catherine Macken of the Los Alamos National Laboratory displays chilling computer simulations of outbreak patterns. Original BBCW broadcast title: Pandemic Part one.
