We mourn the passing of Nobel laureate David Baltimore, a towering figure in molecular biology and virology, and a pioneer and founder of ASV. His discoveries transformed science and medicine, and his mentorship inspired generations. His legacy will continue to guide and inspire virology and ASV.

An incredible episode: Stanley Plotkin joins TWiV to recount his career as a vaccinologist, having participated in the development of vaccines for polio, rabies, and rubella, and his thoughts on the current anti-science, anti-public health, and anti-vaccine climate. www.microbe.tv/twiv/

Years of research show protection from COVID-19 vaccines — both the types made with mRNA and a type made with traditional technology — does wane over time. The vaccinations provide the strongest protection against severe infection and death, even if people still become infected.
Research shows mRNA vaccines saved millions of lives during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our new work: ZIKV infection induces autophagy which mediates the downregulation of host entry factors TIM-1 and AXL. This, in turn, promotes sustained ZIKV infection by preventing superinfection and dampening the host innate immunity. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Vaccines work! As measles cases have recently been reported in Alaska, Georgia, New York, Rhode Island and Texas, it's important to remember that prior to the introduction of the measles vaccine in 1963, measles killed 400-500 people and resulted in ~48,000 hospitalizations per year.
