A video is now available of the seminar ‘Infectious disease: are we in control?’ given by Visiting Professor Jeffrey Almond at the Oxford Martin School on 27 October 2015.
Jeffrey’s lecture takes a thought provoking look at current global challenges posed to the control of infectious disease by: the HIV pandemic; the alarming rise in bacterial infection resistance to antibiotics; and the spread, emergence and re-emergence of diseases such as HCV, SARS, MERS, and Ebola. He points out that pandemic influenza still tops the UK’s National Risk Register due to the severity of its projected social and economic impacts.
