A newly identified virus–cell hybrid structure allows viruses to spread faster and more aggressively by hitching a ride on ...

Researchers have profiled the molecular structure and features of a key part of the deadly Nipah virus. Experiments in cells showe how changes in the viral polymerase -- a protein involved in viral ...

Nipah virus is a zoonotic virus harbored by fruit bats. It can be transmitted to pigs and humans, infect people through contaminated food, and can travel directly from person to person via droplets.

Six years before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, an Ebola outbreak in West Africa had people fearing the possibility of a global outbreak. This was the first time many had ever heard of the virus, ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — There is no cure for the common cold. But there are cures — or at least vaccines — for other viruses, and researchers are working hard to build a toolbox to be able to rapidly ...

Scientists at Harvard Medical School and Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine have mapped a critical component of the Nipah virus, a highly lethal bat-borne pathogen that has ...

Crassviruses are the most abundant, and among the most genetically diverse, viruses found in the human gut. New structural information about these viruses has shed light on the functions of previously ...

As summer kicks into full gear and people are spending more time outside, there's one thing on many people's minds - ticks. Tick season is starting earlier and lasting longer, and ticks are popping up ...

This is the first time a complete 3D structure of a fully mature yellow fever virus particle had been recorded at near-atomic resolution, revealing differences between the vaccine and pathogenic ...
