Who are the internationally known and recognised experts in this area, apart from the WHO which has been mentioned? Some of the universities must have led in this research. What have they come up with?

Are there similar conditions from which people suffer with similar characteristics? For instance, one that comes to mind is the human form of brucellosis which has similar characteristics, including a rash and continuous flu symptoms. I might have the flu, but I do not think I have that condition. However, I wonder about it because if we are determining who the experts are, we need to get the information first in order that at least we can all have access to the best information which should be made available as soon as possible.
