The Hot Zone should be required reading for all the scientists working on this project.

Viruses and other such nasties have always interested me, one billionth our size but very much capable of doing us in. Not even being technically alive makes them all the more interesting, made up of mostly protiens and genetic material they are the simplest and yet most complecated forms of "life" on the planet. People always worry about a nuclear armageddon or an asteroid from space wiping out all human life as we know it but they should be more worried about these little babies.
