    #11 - Rhinoviruses: One of the Most Common Viral Infections Explained

    Rhinoviruses are a highly diverse group of RNA viruses responsible for about half of all common cold infections and are something most people encounter multiple times in their lives. In this episode, Florian Krammer explains the biology of these non-enveloped viruses, their large number of strains, and how they infect the upper respiratory tract.

    #10 - Lassa Virus: Why This Infection Is Hard to Control

    Lassa virus is a rodent-borne arenavirus that causes Lassa fever, a hemorrhagic disease endemic in West Africa with hundreds of thousands of infections each year. In this episode, Florian Krammer explains the biology of this ambisense RNA virus, including its segmented genome and how it interacts with the immune system. The discussion covers transmission through contact with infected rodents, human-to-human spread via bodily fluids, and typical symptoms ranging from mild flu-like illness to severe disease with bleeding, organ failure, and neurological complications.

    #9 – Hepatitis B: Prevention, Vaccines And Ongoing Challenges

    Hepatitis B virus is a globally widespread infection that primarily targets the liver and can lead to chronic disease, cirrhosis, and liver cancer. In this episode, Florian Krammer explains the unique biology of this DNA virus, including its unusual replication strategy involving reverse transcription and its ability to persist in cells as a stable mini-chromosome.

    #8 – Nipah Virus: If It Mutates, It Could Become A Pandemic Threat

    Nipah virus is a highly lethal zoonotic pathogen that can infect both the respiratory tract and the brain, making it one of the most concerning emerging viruses.

    #7 – ME/CFS: Causes, Symptoms and Unanswered Questions

    ME/CFS (myalgic encephalomyelitis / chronic fatigue syndrome) is a complex and often misunderstood disease that affects the nervous system, immune system, and energy metabolism. In this episode, Florian Krammer explains the key symptoms, including severe fatigue, post-exertional malaise, sleep disturbances, and cognitive dysfunction, as well as the different levels of disease severity.

    #6 – MPOX: What We Know About The Recent Outbreaks

    Mpox, formerly known as monkeypox, is a double-stranded DNA virus closely related to smallpox that has gained global attention in recent years. In this episode, Florian Krammer explains the biology of the virus, its complex life cycle, and its ability to spread both through zoonotic transmission from animal reservoirs such as rodents and through human-to-human contact, including close physical and sexual contact.

    #5 – Epstein–Barr Virus: Why Almost Everyone Gets Infected

    Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) is one of the most common human viruses, infecting around 90–95 percent of adults worldwide. In this episode, Florian Krammer explains the biology of EBV, a herpesvirus with a large DNA genome and a complex life cycle that includes both active replication and lifelong latent infection in B cells. The discussion covers how EBV spreads through saliva and close contact, why primary infection in adolescents often leads to infectious mononucleosis, and how the virus can persist silently in the body for decades.

    #4 – Human Papillomavirus: Why Vaccination Matters

    Human papillomaviruses are among the most common viruses infecting humans, with more than 200 known types and up to 80 percent of people exposed during their lifetime. In this episode, Florian Krammer explains how HPV infects epithelial cells and why certain high-risk types are responsible for the majority of cervical cancer cases.
