Ah, it seems like only yesterday I was writing about the perils of DARPA. Alas, however it seems, that was ten years ago – the joys of writing about things for a long time now.

Suffice it to recall that in 2018, DARPA launched the PREventing EMerging Pathogenic Threats project to prevent the transmission of dangerous viruses from animals to humans. The research focused on viruses transmitted from animals to humans. Special attention was paid to bats, which are natural reservoirs of coronaviruses (including MERS–CoV), filoviruses (for example, Ebola), as well as Zika, Lassa and influenza viruses.
