Latest Update on Urgent Virus Outbreaks: Summer 2025

IAS–USA Dialogues are spirited, timely conversations on the public health, scientific, and clinical aspects of current urgent outbreaks, including seasonal viruses such as influenza, emerging infectious disease threats in the US and around the world, and other topics of the day. Registration is now open for our Summer event!

Program Description

IAS–USA Dialogues feature spirited discussions on late-breaking news in emerging and reemerging urgent outbreaks, including pertussis, measles, mpox, and more. Experts discuss current “hot-button” issues covering a range of infectious diseases, such as:

• Valley fever (Coccidioidomycosis), a rapidly emerging global health emergency, including a recent sharp increase in the number of cases in California
• Pediatric influenza outcomes in 2024–2025, which were the worst since 2009
• Measles outbreaks, which are spurring debate about whether previously vaccinated adults need an MMR booster
• Pertussis, mpox, and more

The Dialogue series is intended for health care clinicians and researchers, including infectious diseases and HIV specialists. The conversations are available on-demand after broadcast on the IAS−USA website and are featured in episodes of the IAS–USA Going anti-Viral podcast, with the warning that the shelf life of information on urgent infectious diseases is often quickly outdated as scientific knowledge evolves. What we know today may well be different from what we know tomorrow.
