Last week in Malta, many scientists from around the world gathered for the 4th ESWI (European Scientific Working group on Influenza) Influenza Conference, where the latest research was shared.
Today, Katherine Harmon has a terrific roundup of views from some some of the world’s most respected virologists. We hear from such familiar names as Ab Osterhaus, Frederick Hayden, Ron Fouchier, and Malik Peiris . . . to name just a few.
There is too much good content to synopsize, so I’ll just step out of the way, and invite you to read:
