I know CMV only in the context of transplant medicine. I don't know of another pathogen that gets the same kind of respect and trepidation that this particular bug does, mainly because of how pernicious it is and how it can ruin otherwise wildly successful transplant outcomes months to YEARS after the fact. I am grateful that we are learning more about it so that we can develop counter protocols. I fear though that like with many diseases our ability to eliminate it or not will not be based on technology but on our willingness to apply such.
