Overall: New enough and long enough, neutral, well cited, Earwig ok, and hooks check out from the source.

ALT1a: ... that Portuguese HIV researcher Odette Ferreira flew from Lisbon to Paris with test tubes of blood in her coat to maintain the right temperature for research and test them at the Pasteur Institute?

Comment: This is my first DYK review, a second opinion to confirm assessment would be good. Alan Islas (talk) 15:01, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

• Hi, I came by to promote this. I added a "citation needed" tag to verify one claim, and tagged the lead for insufficiently summarizing the article. Yoninah (talk) 16:44, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for comments. Citation added. Lead expanded, minor improvements made and low-resolution, fair-use photo added to Infobox.Roundtheworld (talk) 08:27, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
