    Maryn McKenna writes frequently and eloquently on infectious disease in her blog "Superbug". I recommend you check out her latest post on the Ebola cases in the US.

  • So why bats? How come they can live with Ebola and so many other viruses, while humans can’t? Scientists bitterly disagree about this.
  • bats have more resilient DNA.
  • bats have overactive immune systems.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Bats make up nearly one-quarter of the mammalian species on Earth,
  • If we’re going to contract any disease from another species, there’s a decent chance it’ll be from a bat.

    I *highly* recommend you check out the CDC COCA calls if you are interested in medicine and infectious disease. Today's call on focal limb paralysis co-incident with the current outbreak of EV-D68 was fascinating. You may find my notes on it at this link: https://www.evernote.com/shard/s7/sh/01e57d8c-bc3f-4e86-85c6-476117fa5731/80a13752cdcfd28a5a4224d1c9df882f

  • In mice and other animal model systems, the virus establishes latency in some neurons but multiplies in others (4). Ultimately, in mice, after an interval of 4 wk, only latent virus can be detected in the peripheral ganglia (5).

      I'm wondering if there is a specific reason as to why the virus chooses to multiple in one neuron versus establish latency in another. Is it just random, or are there different mechanisms in different neurons that allow the virus to perform one act preferentially over another?
