Researchers, such as this man in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's new maximum containment virology laboratory, use the most advanced technology available to study dangerous organisms like the Lassa, Machupo, Ebola, and AIDS viruses that cause deadly diseases for which no cure or vaccine exists. Statistics about these and other diseases are published in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR), a widely read publication around the world. Weekly reporting of morbidity and mortality statistics to the Public Health Service began in 1893. Various bureaus of the Service have published these reports. Since 1961, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's Epidemiology Program Office has been responsible for publishing the MMWR.
