Episode 4: Infectious Disease

At one time Alaska suffered the worst cases of tuberculosis documented across the nation. It literally wiped out many villages. Now new infectious diseases are crowding news headlines, and the threat of bio-terrorism is drawing the attention of State epidemiologists like John Middaugh and Beth Funk.

Studio panelists include:
  • Bonnie Johnson, Public Health Nurse, Fairbanks Regional Public Health Center.
  • Jay Butler, Director of the Centers for Disease Control, Arctic Investigations Program.
  • Bernd Jilly, Chief, Public Health Labs, State of Alaska.
