Summary
Rinderpest has been eradicated, but it is not extinct. In the conclusion, I ask readers to consider the importance of international cooperation in keeping the virus contained in laboratories. The key point is that the necessity of global community did not end with eradication, but must continue, because our global environmental interdependence has only grown with time.
