    Amazing talk … Thank you Dr. Racaniello and Dr. Silverstein !!!

    I can relate to the rabies virus incidents in India and the problem of stray dogs, being from India. I had a friend who got bitten by rabid dog on neck. He had took 15 injections from physician. Now I understand it's severity since it is spot very close to brain and CNS. 500 rupees is around $10 but still quite high price to immunize a dog in the country.

    I am studying herpesvirus at Geogia State University and I am equally amazed about them. I have been wondering about the herpesvirus entry which is extremely complicated and challenging. I hope to find some insights into it.

    Hope to hear more from Dr.Silverstein and herpes.

    Thank you,
    Pritesh
