Happy 134th birthday to humans knowing that viruses exist! OTD in 1892 Dmitri Ivanovsky presented his evidence of a tobacco mosaic disease caused by filterable agents (not bacteria!). Martinus Beijerinck confirmed this independently in 1898. And voila, virology is born!

We mourn the passing of Nobel laureate David Baltimore, a towering figure in molecular biology and virology, and a pioneer and founder of ASV. His discoveries transformed science and medicine, and his mentorship inspired generations. His legacy will continue to guide and inspire virology and ASV.
As RFK testifies in front of the Senate today, ASV wants to emphasize the risks posed by his decisions related to virus outbreaks and the public health of Americans. Together with our partner organizations, we call for RFK's resignation: asm.org/press-releas...
