Biologists "Trick" Viruses into Extinction

Hivlifecycle Yale biologists are reversing the logic of species extinction by trying to trap viruses in habitats that force their extinction.

Yale's Paul Turner, associate professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, tested the practicality of luring a virus population into the wrong cells within the human body, thus preventing virus reproduction and alleviating disease.
