In his weekly clinical update, Daniel Griffin and Vincent Racaniello express concern about vaccine policy and ACIP, scaling back of the CDC’s role in global public health, shingles vaccine and dementia, new screwworm cases, the Ebola outbreak in the Congo and Uganda and where the hantavirus outbreak began, before Dr. Griffin deep dives into the measles outbreak, recent statistics on RSV,...

TWiV explains research showing that dairy cows are infected with low doses of influenza A(H5N1) and do not transmit efficiently to other animals, and covalent inhibitors of human papillomavirus type 16 E6 protein that restore p53 function and suppress growth of HPV-driven tumors in vivo.
