...lead researcher on the HKU study, scientists try do the same by testing thousands upon thousands of chemicals on virus samples. The vast majority won't have any effect, but a handful will. Researchers can then take those virus samples and use further tests to figure out which viral gene has been affected by which chemical. "If we discover that interfering with a certain gene stops the virus from replicating, then we know that gene's function likely has to do with replication," says Kao, a biochemist who brought his passion for chemical genetics to HKU from Harvard University, where...
...always take the time, or have the time, to explain to parents what will and won't work in their child's particular case. For example, allergies are usually a problem for older children with asthma, while kids aged 5 and younger more frequently have trouble with viral respiratory infections.

Even populations inside wildlife sanctuaries are not necessarily secure. In 1994 one-third of the lions in the Serengeti died from an outbreak of canine distemper, a viral infection transmitted by feral dogs. Inbreeding, a problem on small, isolated reserves, makes big cats more vulnerable to disease. African lions, says Frank, who is also funded by WCS, "are heading toward the tiger situation in Asia--small populations in widely separated national parks. Inbreeding, disease and political instability [which has sometimes disrupted management of parks] will soon destroy those populations...
