Send your virology questions and comments to twiv@microbe.tv
Regarding covid in deer , can the virus be carried in human poop? there are more and more people pooping in woods this year and animals sniffing the poop or in many cases eating the poop . Could human poop be the vector ?
Hi Brianne,
Listening to your TWIV podcast on T cells. Can you comment on CD3?
It’s a personal issue for me when I was diagnosed 4 years ago overseas with CTCL and many tests were performed locally and blood sent to NIH for CD3, CD4, CD8. However never hear anything about CD3 can you comment?
Thank you
Regards
Peggy
