Norwich scientist receives prestigious international science prize
"I am very pleased that the work of my group has been recognised by this award", said Professor David Baulcombe. "I am also delighted to see that research into plants has been acknowledged. It is often forgotten that plants are excellent models for many types of genetic and biochemical research. Beijerincks discovery of viruses in infected tobacco plants, for example, is one of...

Towards understanding bluetongue outbreaks
A recent article published in Virology (www.elsevier.com/locate/yviro), reports the identification of a bluetongue virus strain that caused the northern European Bluetongue outbreak in 2006. Comparison of the virus strain with the sequences of other previously isolated strains showed that it originated in sub-Saharan Africa, rather than from vaccine strains or strains circulating in southern...

Milestone tumor virus publication by Elsevier journal Virology
A recent special edition of the Elsevier journal Virology reviews the past, present, and future of the exciting field of small DNA tumor viruses. View More (2009-04-10)
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)
SLU Researchers Uncover Direct Evidence on How HIV Invades Healthy Cells
Using sophisticated detection methods, researchers at the Saint Louis University Institute for Molecular Virology (IMV) have demonstrated the molecular mechanism by which the HIV virus infects, or integrates, healthy cells. The discovery could lead to new drug treatments for HIV. View More (2005-12-22)
Is the end of polio truly in sight?
Declaring the eradication of polio will be far more difficult than it was for smallpox, according to a review published in the Journal of General Virology. View More (2011-11-30)
Blocking nerve cells delays onset of prion disease
A chemical that specifically blocking parts of the nervous system can delay the onset of scrapie and could lead to new drugs to prevent vCJD and BSE, medical experts heard today (Thursday 10 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 Physicians, London.

Bird flu leaves the nest -- adapting to a new host
Current research suggests that viral polymerase may provide a new therapeutic target for host-adapted avian influenza. View More (2009-08-27)
Study: Viral Reactivation a Likely Link Between Stress and Heart Disease
A new study could provide the link that scientists have been looking for to confirm that reactivation of a latent herpes virus is a cause of some heart problems. View More (2013-01-23)
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 Physicians, London.

Fragment of Yellow Fever Virus May Hold Key to Safer Vaccine
In one of the first molecular studies of the human antibody response to yellow fever, Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) researchers and their colleagues have found the crucial bit of virus that people's immune systems need to spot and quash this often-fatal re-emerging disease.

Gene therapy shows early promise for treating obesity
With obesity reaching epidemic levels, researchers at the Ohio State University Medical Center are studying a potentially long-term treatment that involves injecting a gene directly into one of the critical feeding and weight control centers of the brain. View More (2009-03-10)
Monkeypox mystery: New research may explain why 2003 outbreak in the US wasn't deadly
An outbreak of 72 cases of monkeypox in the United States during the summer of 2003 didn't produce a single fatality, even though the disease usually kills 10 percent of those infected. View More (2005-07-18)
Heidelberg Virologists Make HIV Luminate
A working group of virologists headed by Professor Hans-Georg Kr'¤usslich at Heidelberg University Hospitals, jointly with Professor Hanswalter Zentgraf, Division of Applied Tumor Virology of the Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum (German Cancer Research Center, DKFZ), have been the first to label Human Immunodeficiency Viruses (HIV) for visual investigations without inhibiting the functional...

Some types of papilloma virus might prevent cervical cancer
There are over 100 different types of human papilloma virus (HPV). Cervical cancer is known to be caused by infection with approximately 14 so-called "high-risk" types of this virus. Researchers from Manchester looked at the different types of HPV found in cervical smears and invasive cervical cancers from HIV positive and HIV negative women in Kenya. View More (2013-04-11)
Two More Potential HIV Vaccines
Despite long-term researchers' efforts, efficient human immunodeficienct virus (HIV) vaccine has not been created yet. However, researchers are not giving up their attempts. Russian biologists are now proposing two more vaccine options based on DNA that encodes human immunodeficienct virus proteins. Experience proves that traditional ways of creating vaccines based on obtaining medications of... View More (2004-05-17)
BUSM faculty author commentary on the global challenges of emerging viral infections
Paul Duprex, PhD, and Elke Mühlberger, PhD, both associate professors of microbiology at Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM), recently co-authored a commentary about viruses for Microbiology Today, the monthly publication of the Society of General Microbiology, which is the largest microbiological society in Europe.

Cancer cells show rewired, fragmented microRNA networks
A new study shows that a family of molecules called microRNA work together in single, well-connected networks to control many important functions in healthy cells, but that in cancer cells the networks are rewired and fragmented. View More (2010-05-03)
Bird flu mutation study offers vaccine clue
Scientists have described small genetic changes that enable the H5N1 bird flu virus to replicate more easily in the noses of mammals. View More (2013-04-09)
Hepatitis A virus discovered to cloak itself in membranes hijacked from infected cells
Viruses have historically been classified into one of two types - those with an outer lipid-containing envelope and those without an envelope. View More (2013-04-05)
