"Virus vs Host: An Enduring Battle"; The virus-host struggle is one of the most fascinating in Nature. Virus-based illnesses –smallpox, measles, polio, flu, covid—have been a major force in human history. But modern science has developed effective protective vaccines that have saved millions of lives. Viruses will continue to be a threat, and that keeps experts busy. Dr. Connor explains how viruses invade selected organisms, how immune systems fight against the invaders, and how vaccines provide vital protection against virus diseases. John Connor is an authority on the mechanisms of viral infections. The Connor Lab at Boston University's National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories (NEIDL), is a major center for the study of particularly resistant viruses. 00:31:12
