trelax , you are very welcome. here are some excerpts "NIPAH"
) China has just reported at least nine people who have been infected in a new outbreak of SARS. Hundreds of others there are quarantined.

At the same time in Bangladesh, American scientists are trying to contain an epidemic of another killer virus, called Nipah.

SARS and Nipah are examples of viruses that just seem to come out of nowhere every year or so. They're the latest in a list that includes West Nile Virus, Monkey Pox, Avian Flu and HIV.

In January, Correspondent Scott Pelley reported on a new kind of detective -- virus hunters -- who are looking for the next big killer.

They believe that if they'd been tracking HIV in the '70s, they might have stopped AIDS before it killed more than 20 million people.

Today, these virus hunters are on the trail of Nipah, which has identified this week as the killer behind a new epidemic.

In the hospital wards of Bangladesh, at least 40 people have died in the Nipah outbreak that started in January. About half of them died in just the last week; many more are infected.
