|  | | | |  Success Reached in Tuberculosis Comeback
Scientists at the National Center for Endangered Organisms reported today that their efforts towards removing the Tuberculosis virus from the endangered species list is nearing a successful completion.
"Tuberculosis was nearly extinct in the 50's and 60's and populations of the virus are growing" stated Dr. William Defoe of the NCEO. "With our engineered resistant strains, we expect to never have to worry about Tuberculosis becoming extinct ever again".  With help from research grants from the US-EPA, the NCEO has been able to foster increases in populations of other
endangered organisms, most notably the Lyme Disease bacterium, spread by the protected Deer Tick. Thanks to a public awareness campaign by the Serrah Club, both Lyme bacterium and the deer tick have joined the spotted owl on the protected species list. Unknown dangers to our ecosystem have been averted by maintaining Lyme bacterium in our ecosphere.
Researchers have been warning the public for years about the impact that viruses and bacterium have on
our ecosystem. Elimination of even one of these could have cataclysmic implications for the world, if not the universe. Recent experiments on the new International Space Station have inconclusively proven the theory that the dinosaurs became extinct due to the extinction of the East Nile Virus (now extinct close cousin to the West Nile Virus) and the ecological disaster that the viral extinction provoked. In related news, the NCEO is looking for volunteers
to participate in their Bubonic Plague research. Please contact Dr. Jake Thesnake vie the NCEO website. --Staff | | | |  Psychic Wins Lottery
