[Mitai-announce] Reminder - Rx for survival part 3 - tomorrow

[Elan Pavlov]

Hi,
This is just a reminder that tomorrw we will be showing part 3 of our IAP 
series on global health. As usual dinner will be served.
This week we will be watching "Deadly messengers":
Since the plague killed millions of Europeans in the Middle Ages, 
vector-borne diseases?those that rely on insects and animals to spread 
infectious agents?have posed a serious threat to public health. Today, the 
most dangerous vector on earth is the mosquito. From malaria to yellow 
fever to West Nile virus, mosquito-borne diseases continue to threaten the 
health of millions around the world. Deadly Messengers recounts the 
stories of heroic scientists and health workers who battled against the 
mosquito, and examines current efforts to control dangerous and spreading 
vector-borne diseases.

Division of the Tufts School of Medicine's Department of Public Health and 
Family Medicine
