As I wrote in the DYK review, I found some minor instances of close paraphrasing that could do with attention.
Earwig (before it died on me) found a relatively high %age with [8]; I don't consider any of the hits here a real problem, but some elegant variation might be worthwhile to break up the blocks it finds in the lead and in "2014 was also the year that he proposed an exhibition on epidemics to the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, where he is a research associate in Anthropology."
By eye, I noticed the following that could do with moving further from the source; I didn't do exhaustive checks, so there might be others.
From Ref 1:
"During the 1980s, he took care of people affected by HIV/AIDS, at a time when the disease was a mystery." (lead) cf
"In the 1980s, he took care of patients in San Francisco who were suffering from a mysterious disease that would become known as AIDS."
"Following the September 11 attacks, Lucey was in Washington DC during the anthrax scare..." (lead) cf
"He was in Washington, D.C., when an anthrax scare closely followed the terrorism attacks of 9/11..."
"He was in Washington DC during the anthrax scare, when in the later months of 2001, letters containing anthrax spores were posted to a number of media outlets and two U.S. senators, killing five people and infecting 17 others. Having prepared protocols and arranged stock piles of antibiotics for potential bioterrorism incidents, he helped prepare the hospital for those anthrax attacks." cf
"As chief of the infectious diseases section at Washington Hospital Center in Washington, D.C., he helped develop protocols and convinced the pharmacy director to order a lot of antibiotics. ... But at about the same time, letters containing anthrax spores were mailed to several media outlets. In early October, contaminated letters were also mailed to two U.S. senators. The attacks killed five people and infected 17 others. Thanks to Lucey, Washington Hospital Center was prepared."
"...injecting the antibiotics directly into the space around the lung." cf
"they injected the antibiotics directly into the space around the lung..."
From Ref 10:
"Lucey noted that the first case of anthrax presented with meningitis" cf
"Lucey (2005) notes that meningitis was the presenting symptom in the first diagnosed case of anthrax in the 2001 anthrax event;"
"Prior to 2001, anthrax was rarely encountered and was known as woolsorter disease due to its occurrence in those who worked with wool." [this needs to state inhalational explicitly as cutaneous anthrax is not particularly rare and not known as Woolsorter disease] cf
"Before October 2001, inhalational anthrax was rarely seen but was known as Woolsorter disease because workers in industrial mills were at the highest risk of exposure from the hides, wool, and hair of contaminated animals..."
Out of the scope of the DYK review, I also noted the following, for reference:
