Yu dɔn ɛva wɔnda udat de du risach bɔt dɛn vayrɔs ya we de kɔz sik lɛk kol ɛn flu, ɛn sɔm tɛm ivin di korona vayrɔs we de paralayz di wan ol wɔl? Udat de du risach bɔt aw dɛn kin mek dɛn vayrɔs ya, aw dɛn kin skata, wetin fɔ du fɔ protɛkt yusɛf frɔm dɛn, ɛn aw fɔ fɛn mɛrɛsin? Virologists na di pipul dɛm wae de du dis kayn valyu savis. So tide wi go tɔk bɔt udat na vayrɔs, wetin dɛn de du, ɛn aw pɔsin kin bi vayrɔlɔjis.
Udat na pɔsin we de stɔdi bɔt vayrɔs? Simply put am...
Fɔ tɔk am simpul wan, vayrɔlɔg na pɔsin we de stɔdi di vayrɔs dip wan ɛn gɛt bɔku no bɔt dɛn. I tan lɛk ditektiv, bɔt dɛn sɔbjɛkt na vayrɔs. Dɛn smɔl smɔl tin ya we wi nɔ de si we dɛn kɔl vayrɔs nɔ kin jɔs ambɔg mɔtalman, bɔt dɛn kin ambɔg animal, plant, ɛn baktri dɛn bak . So, dɛn pipul ya de stɔdi aw dɛn vayrɔs ya de skata ( riprodyuz ), aw dɛn kin infɛkt wan ɔs (i.e. pɔsin, animal), aw dɛn kin skata frɔm wan ples to ɔda ples, ɔ aw fɔ protɛkt ɛn trit dɛn infɛkshɔn ya.
Sɔntɛnde, dɛn pipul ya kin bi pipul dɛn we de stɔdi bɔt mɛrɛsin, sɔntɛm na prɔfɛsɔ dɛn we de tich na yunivasiti, ɔ dɔktɔ dɛn we de trit pipul dɛn we sik. Di taytul “vayrɔlɔjist” kin gɛt fɔ du wit bɔku difrɛn wok dɛn we pɔsin fɔ du.
So, wetin rili pɔsin we de stɔdi bɔt vayrɔs kin du?
Mɛmba se, pɔsin we de stɔdi bɔt vayrɔs nɔto jɔs pɔsin we de du wan kayn wok. Bɔku tin dɛn de we dɛn kin du. Lɛ wi tek tɛm luk wetin dɛn de du:
- Wok na ɔspitul: Sɔm vayrɔlɔg dɛn kin wok na ɔspitul lab. Dɛn kin tɛst sɛmpul dɛn (blɔd, sputum, ɛn ɔda tin dɛn) we dɛn tek frɔm di sik pipul dɛn fɔ no us kayn vayrɔs de. Dɔn dɛn kin tɛl yu fɔ gi yu tritmɛnt.
- Fɔ trit di wan dɛn we sik ɛn du risach lɛk dɔktɔ: Sɔm pipul dɛn kin trit di wan dɛn we sik dairekt wan lɛk dɔktɔ. Dɛn kin no mɔ ɛn trit sik dɛn we pɔsin kin gɛt . Dɛn kin trit bak krɛse (lɔng tɛm) vayral infɛkshɔn lɛk HIV ɔ Epatitis.Dɛn wok na fɔ manej di sik pipul dɛn we dɔn de. Sɔm dɛn kin du klinik risach bak.
- Wok as dɔktɔ-sayntis: Dis na pɔsin we, pan ɔl we i de trit pasɛnt dɛn lɛk dɔktɔ, i de spɛn tɛm bak fɔ du risach. Wan wok we rili impɔtant!
- Besik Risach: Dis tan lɛk fɔ le di fawndeshɔn. Sɔm pipul dɛn we de stɔdi bɔt vayrɔs kin wok na risach institiut ɔ yunivasiti dɛn ɛn dɛn kin stɔdi dip wan aw wan patikyula vayrɔs de biev, aw i kin bɔn pikin, aw i kin ambɔg mɔtalman, animal, plant, ɛn baktri, ɛn aw i kin skata. Dɛn kin kɔl dis bak “bench risach.”
- Transleshɔnal ɔ Aplai Risach: Dis min fɔ yuz di tin dɛn we dɛn dɔn fɛn frɔm di bɛsis risach fɔ fɛn sɔlv fɔ wan patikyula prɔblɛm . Fɔ ɛgzampul, fɔ mek nyu vaysin ɔ antivayrɔs mɛrɛsin. Dis kin bi na akademik institiushɔn dɛn ɛn bak na prayvet sɛktɔ ɔganayzeshɔn dɛn lɛk famasi kɔmni dɛn.
- Wok na Pɔblik Ɛlth Ɔganayzeshɔn: Sɔm vayrɔlɔjis dɛn kin wok fɔ gɔvmɛnt ɔ intanashɔnal pɔblik wɛlbɔdi ɔganayzeshɔn dɛn (lɛk di Wɔl Ɛlth Ɔganayzeshɔn). Dɛn kin du risach, no nyu sik dɛn we de apin as dɛn de apin, stɔdi di vayrɔs dɛn we de kam, ɛn advays bɔt aw fɔ kɔntrol di vayrɔs dɛn we de prɛd.
Jɔs tink bɔt aw dɛn vayrɔlɔjis ya dɔn du bɔku savis di tɛm we di korona vayrɔs pandemik de! Dɛn dɔn tray tranga wan fɔ no di vayrɔs, ɔndastand aw i de skata, ɛn mek wan vaysin.
Apat frɔm dis, bɔku ɔda chans dɛn de fɔ vayrɔlɔjis, lɛk mɛdikal jɔnalistik, raytin fɔ grant, ɛn kɔnsaltin.
Us ɔda wok taytul dɛn we vayrɔlɔjis gɛt?
Nɔto ɔl di vayrɔs spɛshal pipul dɛn gɛt di wok taytul “vayrɔs.” Dɛn kin gɛt ɔda taytul dɛn bak, lɛk:

Yu fɔ go na mɛdikal skul fɔ bi vayrɔs?
Bɔku pan di wan dɛn we de stɔdi bɔt vayrɔs gɛt mɛdikal digri (MD) ɔ dɔktɔrɛt (PhD). Sɔm kin gɛt dɛn tu tin ya. MD na digri frɔm wan mɛdikal skul. PhD na advans digri we de pe atɛnshɔn pan risach pan wan patikyula wok.
Bɔt pan ɔl we bɔku pipul dɛn kin go na mɛdikal skul, i nɔ nid fɔ bi mɛdikal skul, i go dipen pan wetin yu want fɔ du na di fil. PhD de gi yu valyu ɛkspiriɛns pan risach ɛn sɔlv prɔblɛm. Wan mɛdikal digri de gi yu ɛkspiriɛns fɔ wok wit di sik pipul dɛn ɛn fɔ pe atɛnshɔn fɔ no ɛn trit sik dɛn. So, i rili dipen pan di tin dɛn we yu lɛk ɛn di tin dɛn we yu want fɔ du.
So aw yu go bi vayrɔlɔjis? Wetin na di rod?
Wetin yu nid fɔ stɔdi fɔ bi vayrɔlɔjist dipen pan wetin yu want fɔ du na yu wok. Wan gud ples fɔ bigin na fɔ gɛt bachelor’s degree pan wan fild we gɛt fɔ du wit sayɛns. Fɔ ɛgzampul, insay sɔbjɛkt lɛk Bayoloji, Kwɛstyɔn, ɔ Mɛdikal Labɔrɔtɔri Sayns. Dɔn, yu kin du ay digri dipen pan di tin dɛn we yu want fɔ du.
Lɛ wi luk sɔm ɛgzampul dɛn:
- If yu want fɔ go du risach: Yu kin nid fɔ gɛt PhD pan vayrɔs ɔ ɔda tin we gɛt fɔ du wit am, ɔ Masta digri pan sayɛns (MS). Bɔt fɔ sɔm laboratori pozishɔn dɛn, na bachelor’s degree nɔmɔ go du fɔ yu.

- If yu want fɔ trit di sik pipul dɛn dairekt wan: Yu go nid fɔ dɔn di mɛdikal trenin. Dis min se yu fɔ go na mɛdikal skul, yu fɔ dɔn wan rɛzidɛns, ɛn afta dat, i go mɔs bi se yu fɔ dɔn feloship na spɛshal eria, lɛk infɛkshɔn sik ɔ imyunɔlɔji.
Di bɛst tin fɔ du na fɔ du risach bɔt di wok dɛn we yu want fɔ du ɛn no us kwalifayeshɔn fɔ dɛn fɔ lan buk. Da we de, yu go gɛt klia gayd.
Aw lɔng dis trip kin tek?
If yu go na mɛdikal skul ɔ du ``PhD'', yu kin ɛkspɛkt fɔ spɛn ɔda 10 ia fɔ tren fɔ yu wok afta A-lɛvɛl. Na dis na aw lɔng i kin tek afta yu dɔn gɛt yu fɔs digri (bɔku tɛm fɔ 4 ia):

- Wan MD-PhD program we de gi ɔl tu di mɛdikal digri ɛn dɔktɔrɛt kin tek lɛk et to tɛn ia.
Pan ɔl we i go tan lɛk se dis na big sakrifays, i fayn fɔ du am we yu tink bɔt di savis we dɛn kin gi na dis wok.

Usay di wan dɛn we de stɔdi bɔt vayrɔs kin wok?
Na sɔm ples dɛn we di wan dɛn we de stɔdi bɔt vayrɔs kin wok:
- Yunivasiti ɛn akademik risach laboratori dɛm
- Gɔvmɛnt ɔ pɔblik wɛlbɔdi institiushɔn dɛn (fɔ ɛgzampul, di Sɛntral fɔ Kɔntrol ɛn Prɛvenshɔn fɔ Sik (CDC) na Amɛrika, di Wɔl Ɛlth Ɔganayzeshɔn (WHO))

Yu tink se pipul dɛn we de stɔdi bɔt vayrɔs pipul dɛn de aks fɔ?
Di dimand fɔ vayrɔlɔg kin difrɛn difrɛn wan dipen pan di institiushɔn we dɛn de wok fɔ (especially if na di prayvet sɛktɔ ɔ akademi), yu ɛkspiriɛns, ɛn yu eria we yu sabi. Bɔt di impɔtants fɔ dis fil dɔn go ɔp wit di sik dɛn we dɔn kam dis biɛn tɛm. So, wi kin se brayt fiuja de fɔ di wan dɛn we sabi bɔt vayrɔs we gɛt sɛns.
Wetin na di difrɛns bitwin Vayrɔlɔjis ɛn Epidemiɔlɔjis?
Pan ɔl we dɛn tu tin ya na impɔtant pipul dɛn na di wɛlbɔdi biznɛs, dɛn wok difrɛn smɔl.
- Vayrɔlɔjis na pɔsin we de stɔdi, no bɔt di vayrɔs, ɛn trit di vayrɔs. Dɛn kin pe atɛnshɔn pan di bayoloji fɔ di vayrɔs, aw dɛn de biev, ɛn ɔda tin dɛn.
- Epidemiologist na pɔrsin wae de stɔdi bɔt de tin dɛm wae de mek pɔrsin gɛt dis sik ɛn wae de pan denja fɔ gɛt am.Dɛn kin disayd bak aw fɔ mek di sik nɔ kam ɛn stɔp am fɔ skata. Dis nɔ kin jɔs apin to sik dɛn we pɔsin kin gɛt lɛk vayrɔs ɛn baktri, bɔt i kin apin bak to sik dɛn we pɔsin kin gɛt we i de fɛt insɛf, kansa, ɔ aksidɛnt.

Imajin, we di `COVID-19` pandemik kam, vayrɔlɔjis dɛn bin de du risach bɔt di vayrɔs ɛn wan vaysin fɔ am, we di epidemiɔlɔjis dɛn bin de du risach bɔt aw i de skata, udat de pan denja pas ɔl, ɛn aw fɔ kɔntrol am tru tin dɛn lɛk soshal distans. Di wok we dɛn ɔl tu de du rili impɔtant.
Fɔ dɔn, tin dɛn we yu nid fɔ mɛmba (Take-Home Message) .
Wit di coronavirus pandemic, plenti intres don de fo virology, no bi so? Wae bɔrku pan wi dɔn bi "armchair researchers" wae de du risach bɔt dis frɔm os, sɔm pipul dɛm dɔn disayd fɔ rili pe atɛnshɔn pan dis fild fɔ vayrɔs risach.
Di gud nyus na dat, nɔto wan kayn wok nɔmɔ di wan dɛn we de stɔdi bɔt vayrɔs de du. Dɛn kin du bɔku tin, lɛk fɔ du risach, tich, fɔ mek vaysin ɛn antivayrɔs tritmɛnt, fɔ wok na pɔblik wɛlbɔdi biznɛs, fɔ no if pɔsin gɛt vayrɔs, ɛn fɔ trit di wan dɛn we sik. Usay yu disayd fɔ pe atɛnshɔn pan yu wok go dipen pan di tin dɛn we yu ebul fɔ du ɛn di tin dɛn we yu lɛk.
Dɔn bak, no “wan we” nɔ de fɔ bi pɔsin we de stɔdi bɔt vayrɔs. Bɔt yu nɔ go ebul fɔ du am frɔm di kɔmfɔt na yu yon os, yu fɔ dediket! Mɔs pan di vayrɔlɔg dɛn gɛt PhD ɔ MD, bɔt di tin dɛn we dɛn nid kin difrɛn difrɛn wan bay di eria we yu pik fɔ spɛshal.
Ilɛk wetin yu ebul fɔ du, nɔ fɔgɛt se we yu stɔdi dɛn smɔl smɔl vayral invader ya we wi nɔ de si, dat kin gɛt big impak pan di wɔl!
So, if yu de tink fɔ du wok na dis valyu wok, tray fɔ gɛt di edyukeshɔn ɛn di dedikeshɔn we yu nid. Udat no, sɔntɛm na yu go fɛn wan mɛrɛsin we go sev di wɔl tumara bambay!
