Here are some links to stories on infestations, contagions, and controls from around the web this past month. Have more? Add them in the comments.

In outbreak news

There’s an Ebola outbreak in Guinea, a rare but much-feared hemorrhagic fever, and a lot of people are talking about it. The Ebola strain originated 2000 miles away, and experts are trying to figure out how exactly the virus traveled over such a great distance. It’s a sobering reminder that deadly disease that appears contained in one part of the world can easily break out under the right circumstances. Already, the outbreak has moved to neighboring Liberia.

Measles appeared in New York City, and some have blamed the anti-vaccine movement.

A possible new deadly virus may have appeared in China.

Climate change may allow malaria to spread to new altitudes, reports the BBC. And speaking of malaria, Ed Yong has a superb longread at Mosaic on how malaria defeats drugs.

Thanks, OP! That's a good haul of educational links in that article! Does anyone here have any lizard recipes? (pause for gag) Where do these people come from who think eating the invaders is a good solution to an invasion? Has this been suggested here yet for our illegal immigration problem?
