Earlier this week, the French government announced a broad research effort that will search for new treatments and vaccines, as well as investigate basic virology and mosquito ecology and control.
The emergence of vaccines and antiviral therapeutics has changed the landscape of virology by totally eliminating or partially controlling formerly devastating diseases.
Depending on the town, city and county, mosquito control can range from full-scale catch-and-test virology labs to a side duty assigned to a single public works employee.
