Hunters, bush meat and the search for new viruses

TED talk on virus hunting in Africa and other parts of the world.

A project by virus hunter Nathan Wolfe. He is outwitting the next pandemic by staying two steps ahead: discovering deadly new viruses where they first emerge — passing from animals to humans among poor subsistence hunters in Africa — before they claim millions of lives.
