A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Of the viruses which continue to threaten human health, those classified at hazard group 4 represent the most difficult to work due to the requirement of high biological containment and the lack of approved therapies.

This talk will cover intervention strategies that have been developed and tested by the PHE research group at Porton Down for two such viruses: Ebola virus and Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever virus.
