Referral: TWiV - Dengue In Florida

 

 

 

# 5137

 

 

 

Vincent_Racaniello’s Virology Blog is a favorite of mine, as are his TWiV (This week in Virology) and TWiP (This Week in Parasitism) podcasts. While some of his blogs, shows, and lectures may occasionally wander into some fairly advanced topics, for the most part, I’m able to keep up.

 

This week, Vincent and the TWiV gang (Alan Dove, Rich Condit) are joined by Ed Fussell, Andrea Leal, and Amy Sargent of the Florida Keys Mosquito Control District at Florida Gulf Coast University (Ft. Myers) for a 105 minute show on Dengue in Florida and Mosquito control in the Florida Keys.

 

I’m multi-tasking this morning, listening to the podcast as I search for something else to blog on, and so I’ve not heard the whole show yet.  But  I’m certain you’ll find it entertaining and informative.
