Angela Mingarelli joins TWiV to discuss whether the gut microbiota of bats confers tolerance to influenza virus infection in mice, and primate hemorrhagic fever-causing arteriviruses that can reproduce in human cells and might be capable of infecting humans.
Hosts: Vincent Racaniello, Dickson Despommier, Alan Dove, Rich Condit, and Brianne Barker

The arterivirus paper does not seem to be open access.
Disagree with Vincent and Alan that the entire story of public health is waiting and then catching up. The millions of dollars spent by NIH on preparatory vaccine development work after SC1 to develop prototype vaccines for what appeared to be an extinct virus was critical for the rapid development of an SC2 vaccine. The millions of international government spending in developing influenza surveillance networks and genomic capabilities allowed for the unprecendented capability to track SC2 viral variants in real time.
