Description:This issue of the Arbovirus Information Exchange is of considerable size. Thanks to a multitude of contributors around the world, we are able to print 56 reports and a poem. Reports on the discovery of Aedes albopictus in Africa, expression of a bacterial gene in mosguitoes, detection of genetic variation in mosquitoes using random primers, and Venezuelan hemorrhagic fever, plus books reviews, announcements, and other pieces of information demonstrates the viability of arbovirology. The poem demonstrates its romance.
Thanks to the continued succor of the Centers for Disease Control (specifically, the financial support and enthusiasm of the staff of the Division of Vector-Borne Infectious Diseases and its Director, Duane Gubler) and the enthusiasm of the American Committee on Arthropod-borne Viruses (ACAV), the Arbovirus Information Exchange continues to allow arbovirologists to swap information, let others know what each group is doing, stay in touch personally, and help stay professionally abreast. Since this newsletter was established, a revolution in information exchange has taken place, one that is far beyond what anyone could have imagined 30 years ago. Nevertheless, it is personal interchange that has served as a foundation of arbovirology. I trust that this will continue.
For the time being, and at the request of the Chairman of the Executive Council of the ACAV (Joel Dalrymple, re-elected to the post during the annual meeting earlier this month), I will remain as Editor. However, there are so many competent, enthusiastic, and hardworking people active on the ACAV that I cannot imagine there would be a problem replacing me very quickly, should the situation change. I am gratified that so many have responded to my requests and reminders to submit reports? the Arbovirus Information Exchange exists for and because of you.
