Infectious virus hidden in chromosomes during latency can be passed from parents to children
Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) infects nearly 100 percent of humans in early childhood, and the infection then lasts for the rest of a person's life. view more (2010-03-09)
New ways to disarm deadly South American hemorrhagic fever viruses
New World hemorrhagic fevers are emerging infectious diseases found in South America that can cause terrible, Ebola-like symptoms. Current treatments are expensive and only partially effective. view more (2010-03-09)
University of Michigan scientists discover bone marrow can harbor HIV-infected cells

Researchers find further evidence linking Epstein-Barr virus and risk of multiple sclerosis
Researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health, Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, and a team of collaborators have observed for the first time that the risk of multiple sclerosis (MS) increases by many folds following infection with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). view more (2010-03-05)
HIV Vaccine Strategy Expands Immune Responses
Two teams of researchers-including Los Alamos National Laboratory theoretical biologists Bette Korber, Will Fischer, Sydeaka Watson, and James Szinger-have announced an HIV vaccination strategy that has been shown to expand the breadth and depth of immune responses in rhesus monkeys. Rhesus monkeys provide the best animal model currently available... view more... (2010-03-04)
Transplant drug preserves kidneys, avoids toxicity
The experimental drug belatacept can prevent graft rejection in kidney transplant recipients while better preserving kidney function when compared with standard immunosuppressive drugs, data from two international phase III clinical trials show. view more (2010-03-04)
Pandemic flu, like seasonal H1N1, shows signs of resisting Tamiflu
If the behavior of the seasonal form of the H1N1 influenza virus is any indication, scientists say that chances are good that most strains of the pandemic H1N1 flu virus will become resistant to Tamiflu, the main drug stockpiled for use against it. Researchers have traced the evolutionary history of the seasonal H1N1 influenza virus, which first... view more... (2010-03-02)
Aggressive Response Helped Chilean Hospital Improve H1N1 Influenza Outcomes

Study identifies racial and ethnic disparities in surgical care
Minority patients in New York City appear less likely than white patients to have surgeries performed by surgeons or at facilities that have handled large numbers of similar procedures in the past. view more (2010-02-16)
New screening system for hepatitis C
A newly designed system of identifying molecules for treating hepatitis C should enable scientists to discover novel and effective therapies for the dangerous and difficult-to-cure disease of the liver, says Zhilei Chen, a Texas A&M University assistant professor of chemical engineering who helped develop the screening system. view more (2010-02-12)
Scientists discover origin of HIV transmission among male partners
A team of scientists, led by a virologist from the University of California, San Diego's Center for AID Research (CFAR), has discovered the origin of strains of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) among men who have sex with men. view more (2010-02-11)
