Yilma is one of thousands of Ethiopians who chose exile during the dictatorship of Colonel Mengistu Haile Mariam between andwhen more than a million people died as a result of famine, armed uprisings and state-authorised terror.

Now Yilma has returned to Ethiopia with a modern solution for an ancient plague — a genetically engineered vaccine to eradicate rinderpest, a highly contagious viral disease that affects cattle. The vaccine is easy to administer, and farmers can produce their own supplies of the vaccine without elaborate scientific techniques. Rinderpest belongs to the Paramyxoviridae family of viruses, and is classified in the morbillivirus genus along with human measles and canine distemper.

With a mortality rate of 95 per cent, the virus is considered the biggest killer of cattle…. Receive a weekly dose of discovery in your inbox! Allwright Lonnie E. Smith Smith v.

Donald E. Yilma has devoted himself to fostering the careers of young scientists in developing countries. He is convinced that, given adequate training and support, they will be able to find solutions to the critical problems in their regions of the world. One outcome of his efforts was the establishment of a new research laboratory near Cairo, Egypt.

After his retirement from UC Davis at the end ofDr. Yilma will be working on several book projects, addressing problems of African American boys, and participating in technology transfer in molecular biology mainly to Africa.
