For a virology based on interdisciplinarity

The importance of virology has recently become evident; epidemics and pandemics due to the Ebola, Zika, Chikungunya viruses, then, of course, coronaviruses, SARS-CoV-1 followed by MERS-CoV and, finally, SARS-CoV-2, and, even more recently, the Monkey Pox virus, while waiting for the next ones… have simply reinforced a notion that the AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) pandemic, due to HIV (human immunodeficiency virus), should have anchored much better in our minds and translated into scientific and political strategies. We know that these emergences and re-emergences are largely linked to profound changes in the human ecosystem and the planet.
