Virus News Stories
Current Virus News Events, Discoveries and Articles
Penn animal study identifies new DNA weapon against avian flu
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have identified a potential new way to vaccinate against avian flu. (2008-07-02)
Zinc finger proteins put personalized HIV therapy within reach
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and collaborators are using minute, naturally occurring proteins called zinc fingers to engineer T cells to one day treat AIDS in humans. (2008-07-01)
Bee disease a mystery
Scientists are one step closer to understanding the recent demise of billions of honey bees after making an important discovery about the transmission of a common bee virus. (2008-06-30)
Hebrew University study opening new route for combating viruses
A unique technique for analyzing the function of microRNAs developed by a Hebrew University of Jerusalem doctoral student has led to the discovery of a new mechanism by which viruses evade the human immune system. (2008-06-25)
Diversity among bird populations found to reduce threat of West Nile virus
A biologist and undergraduate student have discovered that what's good for an area's bird population is also good for people living nearby. (2008-06-25)
Extreme weather events can unleash a 'perfect storm' of infectious diseases, research study says
An international research team, including University of Minnesota researcher Craig Packer, has found the first clear example of how climate extremes, such as the increased frequency of droughts and floods expected with global warming, can create conditions in which diseases that are tolerated individually may converge and cause mass die-offs of livestock or wildlife. (2008-06-25)
Viruses hitch a ride in the cell
Viruses can travel around cells they infect by hitching a ride on a microscopic transport system, according to new research. Cells are exposed to foreign DNA and RNA and it is understood that some of this genetic material can be integrated into the host genome. Using modern microscopic techniques, scientists have been able to see how virus DNA is transported in the cell. (2008-06-24)
UC researchers find new ways to regulate genes, reduce heart damage
Researchers at the University of Cincinnati (UC) are looking for ways to reduce or prevent heart damage by starting where the problem often begins: in the genes. (2008-06-23)
Mayo researchers discover how measles virus spreads (in its host)
Measles, one of the most common contagious diseases, has been thought to enter the body through the surface of airways and lungs, like many other major viruses. (2008-06-23)
Engineers create 3-D model to help biologists combat blue tongue virus
A large 3D model of the Blue Tongue virus has been created by WMG engineering researchers at the University of Warwick that will help biologists devise new ways to combat the virus and protect millions of livestock from infection. (2008-06-23)
