White-headed Capuchin and Operation Clean Sweep
Queenisha Payne May 29th, 2013 Biology I Honors Period 6 “Outbreak” Movie Assignment:
1. The mercenary camp in the Motaba River Valley of Zaire was bombed in 1967 because in 1967, Motaba, a fictional deadly viral hemorrhagic fever, is discovered in a mercenary camp in Zaire and kept it as a top secret; two soldiers ordered the camp to be boomed to cover up the discovery and to stop the outbreak of the disease.
2. No, I would have removed all the people and disinfected all of them so the virus would stay in the forest ad nobody would die.
3. Sam Daniels and his crew were sent to the Motaba Valley, Zaire because there was a level 4 virus.
4. The mystery disease got to the Motaba Valley because one of the host animals, a white-headed capuchin monkey was illegally brought to the United States by James “Jimbo” Scott, an employee at the Biotest animal holding facility; he stole the monkey and takes it to Cedar Creek, California, to sell on the black market. During the trip, Jimbo is infected with the virus.
5. The tribesman's explanation of why the disease was affecting the tribe was because it was the god’s punishment for cutting down the rain forest.
I do not feel that there could be any truth to the explanation because it does not make sense how other nature couldn’t be happy with loss of the plants and forests.
6. The characteristics of the mystery disease was that there were blistering everywhere, severe
