MERS-CoV and chikungunya outbreak updates on Outbreak News This Week Radio Show
PRESS RELEASE
The Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and chikungunya outbreaks are clearly two of the top major news stories this year in the world of infectious diseases. These outbreaks are quickly evolving making it very hard for a person to keep current.
That’s where my two guests, a couple of really good infectious disease journalists come in. For more infectious disease news and information, visit and “like” the Infectious Disease News Facebook page.
During the first half of the show, Avian Flu Diary owner, Mike Coston will lend his great talents of “newshounding” and his ability to clearly explain the latest developments in the MERS-CoV situation in the Middle East and elsewhere around the globe.
Few are covering the chikungunya outbreak as well as my second guest, Examiner.com Health and Disease journalist, Charles Simmins, who will come on at the bottom of the hour. Chuck will give listeners the most up-to-date information on this mosquito borne virus that is knocking on the door of the US.
