DESCRIPTION

We may not be able to see them, but they can be as deadly as any war or natural disaster. They are viruses: simple and dormant outside an organism, they can wreck havoc once they have invaded a host. Government agencies and health organizations stand ready to combat the spread of viruses, but their rapidly changing nature and the increasing mobility of infected people makes the task a challenge.
