From Mike Egan
I am intrigued by the conjunction of two items in one edition of New Scientist. 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?
