VADS CORNER
Undoubtedly, the best site on the Net to begin researching virus outbreaks in Malaysia. Dr M Vadivale is a conscientious webber and updates his site very regularly. You will find a wide range of links here to medical journals, forums, articles and reports on JE, Paramyxo and Chikungunya outbreaks. His choice of music, however, seems incongruous with the material at hand. Still cudos to Dr Vadivale - where he finds the time to do this one wonders.
