Letter: A herpes cure test case is at flipper

Published 14 September 2016

From Mike Egan

I am intrigued by the conjunction of two items in one edition of Âé¶¹´«Ã½. The first reports a herpes outbreak in turtles on the Great Barrier Reef (9 July, p 7); the second suggests that gene editing could destroy herpes viruses living inside you (9 July, p 14). Could one provide a useful test case for the other?
