Swine Influenza
The University of Maryland has a number of experts who can address different issues related to the ongoing swine flu epidemic:
Dean Don Kettl - Public Policy (Kettl@umd.edu) - "This is an issue that has swept around the world in lightning speed. At a food cart on the streets of Philadelphia yesterday, two people were talking about the coming plague - and the need to read the Bible. This isn't Armageddon- the government faces a keen test of calibrating its response and the people's reaction. How can we best signal the level of seriousness of the issue to ensure the best preparedness and caution without creating panic?
We've long known that a genuine pandemic could strike fast and hit hard. Especially in the aftermath of the 2001 anthrax attacks and SARS, the government has spent a lot of time and energy quietly preparing for the possibility of biothreats, either from nature or from terrorists. From all indications, the preparations were thorough and the nation is ready. But this could prove the first real acid test."
See: Kettl's analysis of the first 100 days
Daniel Perez - Swine and avian flu vaccine development, virus transmission, and pathogenesis; swine as an intermediary species for mutation and transmission of flu strains between birds and humans.
Steven Salzberg - Sequencing the flu genome
Galit Shmueli - Flu surveillance
Jeffrey Herrmann - Software to pinpoint mass vaccination locations
