Scientists discover new species of Ebola virus
Scientists report the discovery of a new species of Ebola virus, provisionally named Bundibugyo ebolavirus, November 21 in the open-access journal PLoS Pathogens. view more (2008-11-21)
'Insulator' helps silence genes in dormant herpes virus
By adulthood, most people have suffered at least one bout of painful cold sores brought on by the Herpes simplex virus 1, also known as HSV-1. view more (2007-05-03)
FURTHER STEPS TOWARDS A VACCINE AGAINST HIV
For white blood cells in the human body to be infected by the HIV virus, proteins in the virus must be allowed to interact with a number of different components on the surface of the white blood cell. Ideally anti-HIV preventive therapy or vaccines would prevent several of these interactions taking place and would, therefore, reduce the likelihood... view more... (1999-03-11)
Studies in animals suggest 2009 H1N1 virus may have biological advantage over seasonal influenza
Preliminary findings in ferrets suggest that the novel 2009 H1N1 influenza virus may outcompete human seasonal influenza viruses, researchers say. view more (2009-09-01)
New therapy for chronic fatigue syndrome to be tested at Stanford
A preliminary study suggests there may be hope in the offing for some sufferers of chronic fatigue syndrome with a new therapy being tested by researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine. view more (2007-01-09)
Researchers testing virus-gene therapy combination against melanoma
Researchers at the Moores UCSD Cancer Center are injecting a modified herpes virus into melanoma tumors, hoping to kill the cancer cells while also bolstering the body's immune defenses against the disease. view more (2009-07-02)
Biologists learn structure of enzyme needed to power 'molecular motor'
Researchers at Purdue University and The Catholic University of America have discovered the structure of an enzyme essential for the operation of "molecular motors" that package DNA into the head segment of some viruses during their assembly. view more (2007-03-23)
Unraveling the viral mechanism
Using powerful computer tools and cryo-electron microscopes, researchers at Baylor College of Medicine unmasked the secrets of a tiny virus that infects bacteria and, in doing so, opened the door to a better understanding of a variety of viruses that infect people and animals. view more (2006-02-02)
New host species for avian influenza identified
In a new study published online in the open-access journal PLoS Pathogens, Dr. Vincent J. Munster, of Erasmus Medical Center, Rotterdam, and colleagues identify new host species for avian influenza A virus (H5N1) and provide important information on the distinctions between the ecology and epidemiology of various global strains of the virus. view more (2007-05-11)
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. view more (2008-06-30)
A step forward in virology
The vaccinia virus has a problem: it is a giant among viruses and needs a special strategy in order to infiltrate a cell and reproduce. view more (2008-04-25)
HIV research project scoops innovation prize
Research that could lead to a breakthrough in the treatment of HIV has scooped a University of Manchester scientist a prestigious industry award. view more (2004-11-23)
Vaccine shows promise in preventing mono
A new study suggests that a vaccine targeting Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) may prevent infectious mononucleosis, commonly known as "mono" or "glandular fever." view more (2007-12-11)
Exposure to several common infections over time may be associated with risk of stroke
Cumulative exposure to five common infection-causing pathogens may be associated with an increased risk of stroke, according to a report posted online today that will appear in the January 2010 print issue of Archives of Neurology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2009-11-10)
LIAI finding gives boost to bioinformatics use in fighting disease
The use of computers to advance human disease research — known as bioinformatics — has received a major boost from researchers at the La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology (LIAI), who have used it to successfully predict immune response to one of the most complex viruses known to man — the vaccinia virus, which is used... view more...

Protein identified that turns off HIV-fighting T cells
In HIV-infected patients the body's immune system is unable to fight off the virus. A new study to be published online on November 10th in the Journal of Experimental Medicine shows that T cells in HIV-infected individuals express a protein called TIM-3, which inactivates their virus killing capacity. view more (2008-11-10)

Marijuana component opens the door for virus that causes Kaposi's sarcoma
The major active component of marijuana could enhance the ability of the virus that causes Kaposi's sarcoma to infect cells and multiply. view more (2007-08-02)
Malaria and Epstein-Barr virus linked to pediatric cancer in Africa
Endemic Burkitt lymphoma is a form of cancer that accounts for up to 74% of malignant disorders in children in equatorial Africa. Malaria and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) are known cofactors in its development, but to date, their relative contribution has not been well understood. view more (2007-06-08)
Cover of Journal shows cell infected by virus first viewed by MSU scientists
The June cover of the Journal of Virology features a photograph of the unusual effects on a cell infected by a virus. Montana State University researchers were the first to view the virus, which they collected from a boiling, acidic spring in Yellowstone. view more (2009-07-20)
