乔尔·布雷曼医生是一名流行病学领域的专家,1976年10月,他刚刚走出世卫组织疾病预防控制中心的解剖室,就接到了一通电话。这通电话来自他的顶头上司,“非洲那边这次的传染病不同寻常,”他说,“我们希望你能去那儿看看。”大约8个月前,布雷曼刚刚离开几内亚,当时他以为自己永远都不会再回到非洲了。他和同样是流行病学家的妻子在几内亚待了10多年,一直奋战在对抗天花和疟疾的第一线。回 Dr. Joel Breiman, a specialist in epidemiology, received a phone call in October 1976 just as he walked out of the dissection room of the WHO CDC.
