Editor’s summary
It is time to close the book on infectious diseases, and declare the war against pestilence won - One of the most infamous quotes in the history of biomedicine, long attributed to the United States Surgeon General, Dr. William H. Stewart (1965-1969), is now shown to be an urban legend with origins in legitimate public health policy. Image: It is from 1965, and shows William Stewart as Surgeon General on the far left, with President Johnson in the middle, and NIH Director Dr. James Shannon on the right.

Editor’s summary
There was no difference in the efficiency of epithelial cell interactions between Env virus variants from the breast milk of transmitting and nontransmitting mothers. Moreover, there was similar efficiency of DC-mediated trans-infection, CCR5-usage, target cell fusion, and infectivity between HIV-1 Env-pseudoviruses from nontransmitting mothers and postnatal T/F viruses.

Editor’s summary
A malaria vaccine is not yet available, but planning is underway for a possible introduction. This study explored sociocultural and health communications issues among individuals at the community level who are likely to influence decisions about vaccine use. A communications strategy would need to build on existing immunization efforts and use trusted sources¿including current government dissemination arrangements¿to deliver health information.
