Institute for Animal Health at the BA Festival: Rinderpest on the ropes
New vaccines could aid efforts to rid the world of cattle plague, according to research presented today (Tuesday 09 September 2003) at the BA festival of Science. Professor Tom Barrett and colleagues at the Institute for Animal Health (IAH) have produced several candidate vaccines, using the latest DNA technology, which could assist in the final... view more...

CT scans better than X-rays when detecting abnormalities in patients with H1N1 virus
Computed tomography (CT) scans are better than standard radiography (X-rays) in showing the extent of disease in patients with the H1N1 virus. view more (2009-10-21)
Middle East virus `here to stay` in USA
A virus that originated in the Middle East has become endemic in certain parts of the USA and is set to spread further over the coming year, medical experts heard today (Wednesday 09 January 2002) during a joint meeting of the European Societies of Clinical and Veterinary Virology and the Society for General Microbiology at the Royal College of... view more...

Older liver donors not associated with negative outcomes in transplant recipients with hepatitis C
Receiving a liver from a donor older than age 60 does not appear to be associated with transplant failure, death or recurrent disease in the next five years among transplant patients with the hepatitis C virus. view more (2008-07-22)
How to increase the chances of remaining virus free Pakistani patients with HCV?
Hepatitis C is a health care problem all over the world, with 130 million patients infected the world over. The treatment is expensive and has variable results according to the genotype of the infecting virus. view more (2008-05-21)
New electron microscopy images reveal the assembly of HIV
Scientists at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) and the University Clinic Heidelberg, Germany, have produced a three-dimensional reconstruction of HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), which shows the structure of the immature form of the virus at unprecedented detail. view more (2009-06-23)
Structure of influenza B virus protein gives clues to next pandemic
Determining the structure of a protein called hemagglutinin on the surface of influenza B is giving researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and Rice University in Houston clues as to what kinds of mutations could spark the next flu pandemic. view more (2007-10-16)
Study shows how herpes infects cornea, evades immune cells
Herpes virus has an unusual strategy for infecting cornea cells that may also explain how it evades the immune system, according to a study by researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine. view more (2006-09-26)
HIV isolate from Kenya provides clues for vaccine design
Two simple changes in its outer envelope protein could render the AIDS virus vulnerable to attack by the immune system, according to research from Kenya and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center published in PLoS Medicine. view more (2008-01-03)
H1N1 Pandemic Virus Does Not Mutate Into 'Superbug' in UMd. Lab Study
A laboratory study by University of Maryland researchers suggests that some of the worst fears about a virulent H1N1 pandemic flu season may not be realized this year, but does demonstrate the heightened communicability of the virus. view more (2009-09-01)
Avian influenza: the threat looms (p 257)
The potential threat of avian influenza is discussed in this week's editorial. Five human deaths have been reported in Vietnam up to Jan 20, 2004. The disease is caused by influenza virus type A, and infects many animal species. A highly pathogenic avian influenza is caused by subtypes H5 and H7; wild birds are thought to be the reservoir for the... view more... (2004-01-21)
Human testis harbors HIV-1 in resident immune cells
Researchers have demonstrated HIV replication within resident immune cells of the testis, providing an explanation for the persistence of virus in semen even after effective highly active antiretroviral therapy. view more (2006-11-27)
HIV-1 : RECOMBINATION BETWEEN TWO STRAINSFROM WIDELY DISTANT GROUPS
Scientists have known for a long time that the AIDS virus is genotypically highly variable. Two main types of the virus exist: HIV-1 and HIV-2. HIV-1, the most widespread throughout the world, can be divided into three groups (M, N and O) each of which has different genetic characteristics. Within group M, which gathers together the most frequent... view more... (2000-03-09)
Catching the common cold virus: BYU researchers coming down with the rhinovirus genome
A new study by Brigham Young University researchers on the virus behind nearly half of all cold infections explains how and where evolution occurs in the rhinovirus genome and what this means for possible vaccines. view more (2009-03-17)
U of M identifies cell line that is resistant to retroviruses, including HIV
Researchers at the University of Minnesota have identified a protein that enables viruses such as HIV to infect cells and spread through the body. view more (2006-10-18)
Viruses may play a role in lung cancer development
Papers presented at the 1st European Lung Cancer Conference, jointly organized by the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) and the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) in Geneva, Switzerland highlight emerging evidence that common viruses may contribute to the development of lung cancer. view more (2008-04-25)
Tumor-killing virus selectively targets diseased brain cells
New findings show that a specialized virus with the ability to reproduce its tumor-killing genes can selectively target tumors in the brains of mice and eliminate them. view more (2008-02-20)
Swine flu genes dissimilar to past pandemics
Some genetic markers of influenza infection severity have been identified from past outbreaks. Researchers have failed to find most of these markers, described in the open access journal BMC Microbiology, in samples of the current swine-flu strain. view more (2009-05-07)
Genes identified to protect brassicas from damaging disease
Scientists have identified a new way to breed brassicas, which include broccoli, cabbage and oilseed rape, resistant to a damaging virus. view more (2007-11-01)
Drugs against winter vomiting disease one step closer
The virus that causes winter vomiting disease invades cells by attaching to particular sugar molecules on the surface of the cells. view more (2009-06-11)
