The IAEA, in collaboration with FAO and WHO, is working with 13 African countries (more will join the project in the near future) to develop ways to anticipate potential zoonotic disease outbreaks like Ebola. The Agency will help these countries to obtain technologies and train virologists to identify and monitor dangerous viruses in animals and report this information to the veterinarian and medical authorities. Steve Thachet spoke to Michel Warnau, Section Head in the Division for Africa of the IAEA Department of Technical Cooperation.
