Gene expression profiling of dengue virus infection in cell lines and patients
Researchers at the Novartis Institute for Tropical Diseases and the Genome Institute of Singapore have identified new host genes associated with dengue virus infection, which may open new avenues to developing a drug to treat the disease.   view more (2007-11-07)

Cranberries can treat herpes
Alpine cranberries have significant biological activity that can help to combat herpes virus type II (HSV-2) infection, one of the most common viral infections in humans, writes Emma Dorey in Chemistry & Industry.   view more (2004-10-15)

UCR-led study identifies crucial mechanism involved in immune response against viruses
A research team led by UC Riverside scientists has shown that the common fruit fly can serve as an excellent model for studying the immunity animals are born with for fighting viral infections.   view more (2006-03-24)

Study finds genetic influence on pace of HIV/AIDS progression
Viral load-the amount of virus in the blood of an HIV-infected person-has long been viewed as the chief indicator of how quickly someone infected with HIV infection progresses to AIDS.   view more (2007-10-23)

Immune exhaustion in HIV infection
As HIV disease progresses in a person infected with the HIV virus, a group of cells in the immune system, the CD8+ T lymphocytes, become "exhausted," losing many of their abilities to kill other cells infected by the virus.   view more (2008-05-06)

Bioportfolio: Life-long persistence of erythrovirus DNA genomes in human tissue
The researchers at the University of Helsinki, Finland, and University Hospital of Bonn, Germany, have coined the novel term "Bioportfolio" to describe viral genomic material remaining in the human body after infection.   view more (2006-04-26)

Herpes virus link to complications in pregnancy
Researchers at Adelaide's Women's & Children's Hospital and the University of Adelaide, Australia, have made a world-first discovery that links viral infection with high blood pressure during pregnancy and pre-term birth.   view more (2008-02-19)

Blocking effects of viral infections may prevent asthma in young children
Babies who get severe respiratory viral infections are much more likely to suffer from asthma as they get older.   view more (2007-11-08)

Viral infection at birth linked to cerebral palsy
Exposure to certain viral infections shortly before and after birth (the perinatal period) is associated with cerebral palsy, finds a study published online by the BMJ today.   view more (2006-01-06)

Yale study explains complex infection fighting mechanism
Yale School of Medicine researchers report in Nature Immunology how infection fighting mechanisms in the body can distinguish between a virus and the healthy body, shedding new light on auto immune disorders.   view more (2006-01-11)

New technique kills cancer virus without harming healthy cells
Major breakthrough could lead to successful treatment of viral cancers, without side-effects. Yorkshire Cancer Research funded researchers at the University of York have made a major cancer breakthrough. Using a new technique called RNA interference, they have successfully killed human cervical... view more (2002-09-03)

Viral oncoprotein inactivation of p53
A group of scientists led by USC researcher Dr. Xiaojiang Chen lend structural insight into tumor suppressor inactivation by a viral oncoprotein.   view more (2006-09-01)

Early treatment is key to combating hepatitis C virus
Canadian researchers have shown that patients who receive early treatment for Hepatitis C virus (HCV) within the first months following an infection, develop a rapid poly-functional immune response against HCV similar to when infection is erradicted spontaneously, according to a new study published... view more (2008-08-11)

First results of the Narval trial (ANRS 088)
Patients with HIV infection may develop resistance to one or more of antiretroviral drugs to which they are exposed during treatment. The selection of the most appropriate drugs for switching therapy in patients who have developed resistance, is a difficult challenge. Both, genetic tests that... view more (2000-04-21)

Early exposure to common viral infection does not protect against allergy
Common viral infections in early childhood do not protect against allergy, concludes research in Thorax. If anything, the evidence points to an increased risk.   view more (2002-04-25)

How 'memory' T cells curb the spread of viruses throughout the body
A scientific discovery by Fox Chase Cancer Center researchers helps explain how "memory" T cells protect the body from viral diseases.   view more (2007-06-19)

Six months after start of treatment could be optimum time for making prognosis in patients with HIV/AIDS (p 679)
Issue 30 August 2003 Embargoed 0001 h (London time) 29 August 2003. An international study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggests that prognosis for patients with HIV/AIDS might be more reliably determined six months after initiation of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), rather... view more (2003-08-27)

Exhaustion of HIV-specific T cells may be caused by chronic exposure to virus
The "exhaustion" of immune cells that target HIV appears to result from chronic exposure to the virus, specifically exposure to the particular protein segments targeted by the pathogen-killing HIV-specific CD8 T cells.   view more (2008-05-06)

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)

Effective HIV control may depend on viral protein targeted by immune cells
An effective response of the immune system's 'killer' T cells against infection with HIV may depend on exactly which viral protein is targeted, according to an international group of researchers.   view more (2006-12-18)

Gene-specific Ebola therapies protect non-human primates from lethal disease
Scientists have developed a successful strategy for interfering with Ebola virus infection that protected 75 percent of nonhuman primates exposed to the lethal disease.   view more (2006-01-13)

Chronic fatigue syndrome linked to stomach virus
Chronic fatigue syndrome, also known as ME (myalgic encephalitis), is linked to a stomach virus, suggests research published ahead of print in Journal of Clinical Pathology.   view more (2007-09-14)

Early-stage immune system control of HIV may depend on inherited factors
How well an individual's immune system controls HIV during the earliest phases of infection appears to depend on both the specific versions of key immune-system molecules called HLA Class I that have been inherited, as well as on the fragments of viral protein those molecules display to the T... view more (2006-11-06)

New study shows potential to treat or prevent viral cancers
A new study, presented at the SNM 55th Annual Meeting, shows that radioimmunotherapy (RIT) targeting viral antigens offers a novel option to treat-or even prevent-many viral cancers by targeting cancer cells expressing viral antigens or infected cells before they convert into malignancy.   view more (2008-06-17)

Oestrogen may be associated with virus (HPV) infection implicated in cervical cancer
