A new review maps the orthohantavirus life cycle for chemotherapeutic intervention, evaluating entry inhibitors, polymerase ...

Viruses evolve quickly mainly because of how they replicate and mutate. Unlike cells, viruses must invade a host cell and ...

For decades, the arrival of the monsoon season across India and tropical nations has brought an overwhelming wave of dengue ...

Queen Mary University of London scientists found that adding the Nodamura virus B2 protein to self-amplifying mRNA vaccines ...

For decades scientists have recognized that human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a formidable viral pathogen. After years of probing work and extensive experimentation, a Yale research team has ...

They say that change takes time. Well, that's not the case for RNA. The small biological molecule acts like a switchboard operator, capable of changing its shape every few milliseconds so it can ...

A team of scientists at the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research (HIRI) in Würzburg and the University of Regensburg has unveiled insights into how HIV-1, the virus responsible for ...

As antibiotic-resistant infections rise and are projected to cause up to 10 million deaths per year by 2050, scientists are looking to bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, as an alternative.

Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne orthoflavivirus that can cause birth defects, including microcephaly, a condition in which head and brain size are significantly reduced at birth. The collective ...

In simple terms: a virus is a tiny package of genetic instructions with a delivery system. Outside a cell it is metabolically inert. Once inside a susceptible cell, it redirects the cell's machinery ...
