The TWiV\\xa0team discusses transmission of\\xa0Ebola virus, and inhibition of Borna disease virus replication by viral DNA in the ground squirrel genome.

This episode of TWiV is brought to you by the Department of Microbiology at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Composed of over 20 virology labs, all centralized in one building in the heart of New York City, this department is a perfect fit for anyone with an interest in pursuing virus research. The Department is presently looking to recruit any prospective graduate students to apply to our program by the December 1st deadline. Interested postdocs are also encouraged to contact faculty of interest. For more information about the Department, please visit\\xa0www.mssm.edu/MIC.
