In the supporting text "Disease Central" in John DiConsiglio's When Birds Get Flu, the author included details on the reason why Dr. Dowell had to go to Thailand. The scientists’ first trip overseas to Southeast Asia is to work on the "epidemic of smallpox and cholera" that has taken over the people.
