Insane in the Membrane: Glial Extracellular Vesicles Transmit Polyomaviruses

ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are major vehicles for transporting viruses en bloc among hosts. While RNA viruses make up the great majority of transmission by EVs, in a recent article in mBio (mBio 10:e00379-19, 2019, https://mbio.asm.org/content/10/2/e00379-19.long), Morris-Love and colleag...
