    #32 – Spanish Flu: Why It Also Killed the Young and Healthy

    The 1918 Spanish flu was the deadliest influenza pandemic on record: between 20 and 100 million people died, from a world population of just 1.8 billion at the time. Florian Krammer explains why this H1N1 virus, with a case fatality rate of two to three percent, was so dangerous, where the misleading name comes from (Spain was neutral and had a free press when warring countries did not) and why mortality peaked among 20 to 40 year olds in a distinctive W-shaped curve.

    #31 – Canine Distemper: the Dog Virus That Threatens Whole Species

    Canine distemper virus is a paramyxovirus and a close relative of measles virus. Florian Krammer explains why the disease is so dangerous for unvaccinated dogs: in puppies between three and six months the case fatality rate is around 80 percent, and roughly 50 percent in adult dogs with no immunity.

    #30 – Dabie Bandavirus: the Tick Virus From Asia

    Recorded in Sapporo, this episode is about a virus causing severe disease across Asia: SFTS virus, officially named Dabie bandavirus. It spreads mainly through the Asian longhorned tick, and in rare cases directly between people via blood and bodily fluids.

    #29 – Cytomegalovirus: the Quiet Lifelong Passenger

    This time it's a herpes virus that almost all of us carry: human cytomegalovirus (CMV). Florian Krammer explains why this large DNA virus with over 200 proteins is so hard to pin down, how it deposits its genome as an episome inside immune cells and stays hidden there for decades.

    #28 – Mumps: Why the Vaccine Is Faltering and Cases Are Rising

    This time it's a virus that has circulated in humans for millennia: mumps virus. Florian Krammer explains why this paramyxovirus is related to measles and the dangerous Nipah virus, how the infection unfolds, and why it's usually mild but can cause serious complications including inflammation of the testicles, brain, or pancreas.

    #27 – Summer Update: What's Happening in Virology Right Now

    A summer update with four current stories from the world of virology. First stop is Switzerland, where thousands of cows fell ill from a newly discovered orthobunyavirus of the Simbu group, closely related to Schmallenberg virus but with little risk to humans.

    #26 – Travel Viruses: West Nile Fever – Now in Central Europe Too

    The final part of the summer series on vacation viruses is one you can catch without going anywhere: West Nile virus. Florian Krammer explains why this flavivirus is closely related to Japanese and St. Louis encephalitis virus, how it mysteriously showed up in New York in 1999 - most likely via mosquitoes on a container ship and spread across the entire US within a few years.

    #25 – Travel Viruses: Oropouche Virus From the Amazon

    Part three of the summer series on viruses you can pick up on vacation. After Italy and Scandinavia, it's off to the tropics. Oropouche virus causes Oropouche fever and is spread not by mosquitoes but mainly by tiny midges — the same bloodsuckers that transmit bluetongue disease.
