Summary[edit] Description: Laysan's Flightless Rail - Another extinct bird documented by the Tanager Expedition. Complete habitat destruction by introduced rabbits on Laysan pre-1923 wiped the species out of it's home area, and an introduced population on Midway died off from the accidental introduction of rats and mosquitos during the Battle of Midway in 1942. The last rail was seen on Eastern Island in Midway in June 1944. (Raozon, 2001). Date: 1923. Source: http://www.hawaiianatolls.org/video/tanager.php. Author: Donald Ryder Dickey (1887-1932[1]).

In this video we explore the Emerging Pathogens project, a unique research program to understand the evolution of parasites and pathogens that result in diseases such as malaria and AIDS. This project will provide a database of pathogens, which could lead to important insights for how humans can combat emerging epidemics.
