The virtual 2020 meeting of the Rocky Mountain Virology Association featured talks on recent advancements in virology and prion research, with a keynote presentation on the measles virus paradox. Special invited speakers covered topics such as antiviral effector cell biology, T-cell tropism of Epstein-Barr virus, coronavirus spike proteins, Zika virus vaccination, flavivirus infections, prion disease relation to multiple system atrophy, and discussing virology with non-virologists.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and multiple devastating forest fires, the 2020 meeting of the Rocky Mountain Virology Association was held virtually. The three-day gathering featured talks describing recent advances in virology and prion research. The keynote presentation described the measles virus paradox of immune suppression and life-long immunity. Special invited speakers presented information concerning visualizing antiviral effector cell biology in mucosal tissues, uncovering the T-cell tropism of Epstein-Barr virus type 2, a history and current survey of coronavirus spike proteins, a summary of Zika virus vaccination and immunity, the innate immune response to flavivirus infections, a discussion concerning prion disease as it relates to multiple system atrophy, and clues for discussing virology with the non-virologist. On behalf of the Rocky Mountain Virology Association, this report summarizes selected presentations.
