Deirdre,
	... read the Hot Zone, and before that a "great" book on
the black death.  Now I have a strong interest in virology, which 
is I confess reinforced by a rather morbid facination with Ebola, thanx
to Richard Preston.  
	Where can we look for more information.  I am an optical scientist
with little specific knowledge of biology/virology but I really want
to learn more about these threatening organisms.
