Client:  Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES) (completed February 2009) 

NEXT worked with SITES to develop the Concept Plan for a major traveling exhibition on the subject of zoonotic diseases, the most common type of new, emerging infectious disease.  A zoonosis is any disease or infection that is naturally transmissible from vertebrate animals to humans.  Recent examples in the news (for a wide variety of reasons) include ebola, avian flu, rabies, and anthrax.  This project is a partnership between SITES and the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA).
