Summary Introduction
To review:
The low H1N1 infection rate during the 2009 pandemic in people who had been alive during the 1918 epidemic, with respect to immunological memory.
Introduction:
Immunological memory is the ability of the adaptive immune system to remember its encounter with a particular antigen and shows a rapid and more powerful response when it encounters the same antigen again.

- In 2019, a couple died from plague after eating uncooked rodent spleen (a delicacy where they were traveling). Any exposure to fleas can lead to plague, but it is most commonly transmitted by fleas from rodents/prairie dogs/squirrels. For the decades it has been known about, Ebola (and many of these other hemorrhagic viruses) have been contained to rural villages. After 2000, they began to spread into urban areas, from which they can launch into epidemics and pandemics. The index (first) case of Ebola in urban areas of Congo (May 2018) was the first sign of an urban Ebola epidemic that raged for more than a year, with about 2000 confirmed cases.
