Congratulations to Dr. Shirin Geravandi on receiving the Poster Award, sponsored by the Journal of Virology for her work on immune reponses of HIV-1-exposed uninfected children at last week’s 2026 Annual Meeting. #GfV2026 #Virology #GlobalHealth #Immunology #HIVResearch

Prenatal Zika virus exposure disrupts social-emotional development and cortical visual function in infant macaques - Nature Communications Prenatal Zika virus (ZIKV) exposure can lead to a spectrum of developmental issues, but the mechanisms remain unclear. Here the authors show that prenatal ZIKV exposure in macaques disrupts neurodevelopment, causing prolonged maternal attachment and visual deficits at 3 months that normalize by 12 months, independent of sensory function.

Bird flu outbreak kills at least 18 animals at Ano Nuevo State Park in San Mateo County: officials Wildlife authorities confirmed Thursday that nine more elephant seals, a sea lion and an otter have died from bird flu at Ano Nuevo State Park in San Mateo County. That brings the total number of conf...

Seeing the elephant seals at Ano Nuevo is an amazing experience--but now a scary one, as more animals die from avian influenza. Some concern about a spread to Point Reyes and other Bay Area wildlife areas.
