Alert after boy dies from Nipah virus

Here at FR:UK we know that the zoonotic initiation of disease vectors is exacerbated by a complex of factors, among which poaching, bushmeat trading and international wildlife trafficking play roles alongside urbanization, climate change and deforestation. We believe that the tools of investigation and analysis developed within criminal justice systems play a vital part in a suite of tools to help combat such threats to humanity.

Headline News today serves to illustrate our point:
