Virus Respiratorio Sincitial (new BOINC project)

[NeoGen]

There's a new BOINC project focused on respiratory diseases

VRS (from the Spanish Virus Respiratorio Sincitial) is a BOINC-based project which main aim is to simulate the behaviour of the human Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). Main facts:

• It is the major cause of lower respiratory tract infection and hospital visits during infancy and childhood.
• In Spain, it causes more than 15.000 padiatrician visits per year. It is responsible for more than 18% of the pneumonia elderly hospitalizations.
• In the United States, 60% of infants are infected during their first RSV season. Nearly all children will have been infected with the virus by 2-3 years of age. Of those infected with RSV, 23% will develop bronchiolitis necessitating hospitalization.

Our project simulations of the RSV contagion mechanisms will allow:

• Better understanding of the contagion evolution and its relevant parameters.
• Faster predictions of the virus population evolution.
• Designing more accurate vaccination campaigns.

appears my account was already created via boinc-wide teams, however the email system is either real slow or not working yet.

[NeoGen]

And our team has the option to not allow new members set for some reason... there is no "join this team" link.

[NeoGen]

It's accepting members now... don't know if vaughan did something, but in case he did, THANKS!

Unfortunately one WU already slipped by before I could join the team...

I am unable to get the project to send me my password (again) due to becoming Founder through the stupid BOINC-Wide teams facility that doesn't work properly. It is sooooo annoying.
