This interactive video explores how two scientists tracked the 2013 Ebola outbreak in West Africa. 

This interactive video explores how scientists identify which bat populations are infected with Nipah virus and could transmit the virus to humans.

This interactive module explores biomes, climate, biodiversity, and human impacts around the globe and at different times.

This interactive module explores the diversity of viruses based on structure, genome type, host range, transmission mechanism, replication cycles, and vaccine availability.

This model shows the structure of dengue virus, which causes dengue fever.

This model shows the structure of Nodamura virus, a type of nodavirus.

This model shows the structure of rhinovirus, which causes the common cold.

This tutorial introduces students to vector-borne disease with a focus on dengue fever, which is transmitted by mosquitoes. Students also learn about strategies designed to stop the spread of disease by interfering with the mosquito life cycle.

This tutorial describes how DNA microarrays called Virochips are designed to detect known viruses and discover new ones.

This tutorial explores the effects of West Nile virus infection on different organisms and describes how the virus has spread throughout the United States since 1999.

This playlist can be used to teach several core topics in ecology by connecting students to actual research being conducted in Gorongosa National Park in Mozambique. It can be used in general high school biology and environmental science courses.

This playlist can be used in an online, undergraduate (majors-level) introductory biology lab to incorporate core topics in evolution, diversity of life, and ecology.
