Scientists learn why the flu may turn deadly
As the swine flu continues its global spread, researchers from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have discovered important clues about why influenza is more severe in some people than it is in others. view more (2009-05-05)
Yale biologists 'trick' viruses into extinction
While human changes to the environment cause conservation biologists to worry about species extinction, Yale biologists are reversing the logic by trying to trap viruses in habitats that force their extinction, according to a report in Ecology Letters. view more (2007-02-13)
How to design a cancer-killing virus
One new way to treat individuals with cancer that is being developed is the use of viruses that infect and kill cancer cells while leaving normal cells unharmed. view more (2007-10-26)
New cost-effective means to reconstruct virus populations
Researchers from the United States and Switzerland have developed mathematical and statistical tools for reconstructing viral populations using pyrosequencing, a novel and effective technique for sequencing DNA. They describe their findings in an article published May 9th in the open-access journal PLoS Computational Biology. view more (2008-05-09)
Iowa State University researchers discover structure of key Ebola protein
Research led by Iowa State University scientists has them a step closer to finding a way to counter the Ebola virus. view more (2009-01-13)
IAH at the BA Festival: bluetongue virus moves into Europe
After this summerˇ¦s record temperatures, UK sheep could soon be at risk from a deadly virus that is spreading north throughout Europe. The effect of climate change on the distribution of infectious disease will be discussed today (Tuesday 09 September 2003) at the BA festival of Science. Bluetongue is on the OIEˇ¦s "A" list of infectious... view more... (2003-09-05)
Fresh Scientist wins UK study tour for "Is breast cancer caused by a virus?"
Caroline Ford from the University of New South Wales has discovered that more than 40% of Australian breast cancer samples contain a newly discovered virus. Only 2% of normal breast tissue samples have the virus. Caroline presented her research with 15 other scientists at Fresh Science during Science Week. She wins the 2003 British Council... view more... (2003-09-23)
Blood-vessel blocker aids cancer-killing virus
Cancer-killing viruses are a promising therapy for incurable brain tumors, but their effectiveness has been limited in part because immune cells rapidly move in and eliminate them. view more (2007-11-28)
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)
Hepatitis E in Europe -- are pigs or pork the problem?
Hepatitis E virus infections can be fatal in pregnant women, but until recently doctors thought the disease was confined to China, India and developing countries. view more (2007-09-04)
Gene therapy breakthrough offers hope to patients with inherited high cholesterol levels
New research published in BMC Molecular Biology explains how a new technique for introducing genes into mammalian cells using the virus responsible for warts could be a major step forward in developing gene therapy treatments for people with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), a genetic disease that affects around 12 million people worldwide.... view more...

H5N1 vaccine could be basis for life-saving stockpile
Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have announced that a vaccine they developed a few years ago against one antigenic variant of the avian influenza virus H5N1 may protect humans against future variants of the virus. view more (2006-06-19)
Hope for a rabies eradication strategy in Africa
Most of the rabies virus circulating in dogs in western and central Africa comes from a common ancestor introduced to the continent around 200 years ago, probably by European colonialists. view more (2009-01-22)
Slide Projector Kills Herpes Simplex Virus
A lot of people suffer from herpes for all their lives. The herpes simplex virus (Type 1) constantly inhabits the organism revealing its presence from time to time. Once highly active anti- herpes drugs were developed (acyclovir and phosofonoacetic acids), the virus responded with new forms resistant to theses drugs. The Belorus researchers from... view more...

Immune therapy can protect against or treat later lymphoma
Specially developed immune system cells that target the common Epstein-Barr virus can protect immune-suppressed bone marrow transplant recipients against lymph system disease and cancers that arise from the viral infection. view more (2009-11-03)
LIAI scientists make important finding on cytomegalovirus transmission
Researchers at the La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology have shown that cytomegalovirus (CMV) in the salivary glands can be reduced - and in some cases eliminated - through the use of antibodies to enhance the disease-fighting power of the immune system. view more (2007-05-11)
Horse antibodies against the bird flu virus H5N1 are effective as treatment in mice
Antibodies against the bird flu virus H5N1, derived from horses, prevent mice infected with H5N1 from dying from the virus. view more (2006-03-28)
Steroids and chicken pox not a good mix
Children who have been treated with steroids and are exposed to chicken pox tend to have a more severe case of the virus. view more (2005-10-19)
K-State researcher, collaborators study virulence of pandemic H1N1 virus
Laboratory studies at Kansas State University and the work of a K-State researcher are making headway in the effort to control the pandemic H1N1 virus. view more (2009-07-31)
New West Nile and Japanese encephalitis vaccines produced
University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston researchers have developed new vaccines to protect against West Nile and Japanese encephalitis viruses. The investigators created the vaccines using an innovative technique that they believe could also enable the development of new vaccines against other diseases, such as yellow fever and dengue... view more...
