Influenza pandemics, triggered by bird or swine flu viruses, have the potential  to kill millions of people. The influenza virus has existed for millions of years as an innocuous intestinal virus of wild ducks. What turned a harmless waterborne duck virus into a killer? In my latest presentation I trace the human role in the evolution of this virus and suggests what society can do to reduce  the likelihood  of such potential catastrophes in the future.

My new swine flu DVD "Flu Factories" is now available free for download.  It's a torrent file, so you'll need to BitTorrent software to download it, but that's available free too! A DVD chapter listing can be found here.

See BirdFluBook.org for my swine flu speaking dates, resources, and to read at no cost the full text of my latest book Bird Flu: A Virus of Our Own Hatching.
