Researchers have uncovered a microscopic weapon that can literally tear viruses apart from the inside, a single protein that turns a cell’s own DNA into a tripwire. Instead of blocking infection at ...

New research shows how surface material and temperature change how long viruses survive and whether they can still spread.

Nipah virus does not just infect the body, it disrupts immune defences at multiple levels, suppressing early antiviral ...

How does the body react after contracting the deadly NiV? Expert explains how the Nipah virus attacks the brain, leading to ...

Researchers have discovered that virus-like nanoparticles can promote the multicellular organization and reproduction of host bacteria. These particles, which are evolutionarily related to phages ...

The mosquito-borne Zika virus is known for causing microcephaly, a birth defect in which abnormal brain development results in a smaller-than-expected head. A new study published Jan. 13 in mBio shows ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine report in Science Advances a breakthrough in human norovirus (HuNoV) research. Norovirus is a leading cause of acute viral gastroenteritis worldwide with ...

The mosquito-borne Zika virus hijacks a host protein called ANKLE2 to support its own reproduction. ANKLE2 is involved in brain development in the fetus and because Zika can cross the placenta and ...

Nipah virus in India poses a serious threat due to immune suppression, rapid spread, brain involvement, and high fatality rates despite early recovery signs.

Zika virus hijacks a key protein implicated in brain development for its own replication. Researchers led by Associate Professor Priya Shah at the University of California, Davis (CA, USA), have ...
