Bushmeat and the next pandemic
Filed Under Science, Environment/Energy, Wired, Recent stories, Photography
My latest piece for Wired, about UCLA biologist Nathan Wolfe’s efforts to detect and study viruses as they cross over from wild animals to humans in remote corners of the world, is out in the May issue. It’s on newsstands now, and also available online here.
Some additional photos from my reporting trip to Cameroon are currently online at Wired, and I’ll be posting more here later today.
Also coming: Some additional material that didn’t make the story cut. In the meantime, comments welcome or drop me an email at eratliff[at]atavistic.org.
UPDATE: I’ve put some more photos up. Captions up coming shortly.

Thank you for a wonderful article. You made a complex and broad-ranging topic very understandable and compelling. And you left me wanting to know more. It’s the first time I’ve read your work, as far as I know, but I will be looking for it now.
Fascinating article. Also interesting to see that this effort dates all the way back to 1999. I do hope that this effort will at least help prevent (or perhaps cut short) future pandemics.
