The Ebola and Hemorrhagic Fever Virus Database stems from the Hemorrhagic Fever Viruses (HFV) Database Project founded by Dr. Carla Kuiken in 2009 at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). The HFV Database was modeled on the Los Alamos HIV Database, led by Dr. Bette Korber, and translated much of its tools, infrastructure and philosophy from HIV to HFV.
