Abstract
This Crystal Ball speculates on the potential of molecular decoys for prevention and therapy in infectious diseases. It is dedicated to the memory of Singh Chhatwal, who pioneered research on disguises and decoys produced by Streptococcus, and so much more.

15 min later: Derek (Del) Whippet and Sidney Pointer, the owners of the dogs affected with SBS, are distractedly fondling their animals, which are responding enthusiastically, though behaving as if they were somewhat inebriated, and manically scratching their ears
A complete disaster: I heard on the grapevine that SBS might be infectious and, if so, could affect our entire kennels!
Del: Apparently not much: the vet my kennel uses said that the SBS bug infects a part of the brain that is not accessible to drugs currently available for dogs, and anyway the bug is apparently pretty drug resistant
