I was interviewed on a podcast, Virology Unmasked, https://virologyunmasked.com/michael-emerman/ with the title "Work on Important Things" which was a quote from my graduate school advisor, Howard Temin. The conversation was a nice retrospective of my career in virology and mentoring style.

Bacteriophages are the most abundant and diverse viral entities on Earth, functioning as microscopic apex predators that exist exclusively to infect, replicate within, and ultimately lyse bacterial populations.

The Powassan virus (Orthoflavivirus powassanense) is a highly pathogenic, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus endemic to North America that causes severe, rapidly progressing neuroinvasive disease and encephalitis in human hosts.

The First Pandemic? Scientists Find 214 Ancient Pathogens In Prehistoric DNA

https://onlinemarketingscoops.com/2026/07/11/the-first-pandemic-scientists-find-214-ancient-pathogens-in-prehistoric-dna/

Endogenous Retroviruses (ERVs) are the fossilized genetic remnants of ancient infectious viruses that successfully invaded the mammalian germline tens of millions of years ago. Comprising roughly five to eight percent of the human genome, these elements exist as a latent virome that provides critical evolutionary functions while posing significant pathological risks if reactivated.

Ebola (Orthoebolavirus zairense) is a highly sophisticated filovirus that relies on complex molecular evasion, the exploitation of immune-privileged sanctuaries, and the induction of societal disruption to ensure its survival and propagation, challenging its traditional, simplified classification as merely an agent of acute hemorrhagic fever.

Initial genomes from May 2026 Bundibugyo Virus Disease Outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda, reveal a new spillover event

On 15 May 2026, the Ministry of Public Health, Hygiene and Social Welfare, DR Congo (DRC) officially declared a Bundibugyo Virus Disease (BVD) outbreak in Ituri province, DRC. This represents 17th Ebola outbreak in DRC and the second #Ebola outbreak caused by Orthoebolavirus bundibugyoense (BDBV) species. After the 2007 outbreak in Bundibugyo, Uganda, and the 2012 BDV outbreak in Isiro, DRC, the ongoing outbreak is the third documented BDV outbreak.

The three newly generated #BDBV genome sequences from Uganda (one) and DRC (two) were analysed in the context of 34 BDBV genomes from the previous outbreaks in 2007 and 2012 downloaded from Pathoplexus.

Zoonotic spillover is the successful transmission of a pathogenic entity—such as a virus, bacterium, or parasite—from a non-human animal reservoir into a human population. This rare but consequential event occurs when a pathogen successfully crosses the strict biological boundary between species.

Destruction determined upon the whole Earth

The bad:

"Nevertheless, these mechanisms yield viral selection. APOBEC expression in cancers leads to DNA damage and tumor cell death, yet allows for immune escape variants."

The verdict:

"Indeed, APOBECs are fickle friends."

'MC132 suppresses the immune system by targeting NF-κB, and it had no known homologs until now. The ERV homologs of MC132 in the human genome are mostly disrupted by mutations, but there is an intact copy on chromosome 4. We found homologs of MC132 in ERVs of apes, monkeys, and bushbaby, but not tarsiers, lemurs or non-primates. This suggests that some primate retroviruses had, or have, an extra immune-suppressing protein, which underwent horizontal genetic transfer between unrelated viruses.'
