SARS: No evidence that any of the treatments worked
The SARS virus set alarm bells ringing across the world when it first appeared in 2002, but now a review of the effectiveness of the treatments used against it has found no evidence that any of them worked. view more (2006-09-12)
Bird flu claims critically endangered mammal
A far wider range of wildlife species could be at risk from bird flu, warns a biologist from the University of East Anglia. view more (2005-08-30)
A new weapon in the war against HIV-AIDS: Combined antiviral and targeted chemotherapy
A discovery by a team of Canadian and American researchers could provide new ways to fight HIV-AIDS. According to a new study published in Nature Medicine, HIV-AIDS could be treated through a combination of targeted chemotherapy and current Highly Active Retroviral (HAART) treatments. view more (2009-06-22)
NIAID describes challenges, prospects for an HIV vaccine
Events of the past year in HIV vaccine research have led some to question whether an effective HIV vaccine will ever be developed. In the August 28 edition of the New England Journal of Medicine, officials from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health, examine the extraordinarily... view more...

New mechanism for cardiac arrhythmia discovered
It has long been thought that virus infections can cause cardiac arrhythmia. But why has not been understood. Ulrike Lisewski, Dr. Yu Shi, Michael Radke and Professor Michael Gotthardt of the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC) Berlin-Buch, Germany, have now discovered the molecular mechanism. view more (2008-09-18)
Virus weaves itself into the DNA transferred from parents to babies
Parents expect to pass on their eye or hair color, their knobby knees or their big feet to their children through their genes. But they don't expect to pass on viruses through those same genes. view more (2008-09-03)
NIAID media availability: New strategy proposed for designing antibody-based HIV vaccine
Most vaccines that protect against viruses generate infection-fighting proteins called antibodies that either block infection or help eliminate the virus before it can cause disease. view more (2009-06-15)
New research helps explain why bird flu has not caused a pandemic
Bird flu viruses would have to make at least two simultaneous genetic mutations before they could be transmitted readily from human to human, according to research published today in PLoS ONE. view more (2009-11-19)
Charting the path of the deadly Ebola virus in central Africa
Over the past ten years, separate outbreaks of the deadly Zaire strain of Ebola virus (ZEBOV) have killed hundreds of humans and tens of thousands of great apes in Gabon and the Republic of Congo-which harbor roughly 80% of the last remaining wild gorilla and chimpanzee populations. view more (2005-10-25)
Earlier bites by uninfected mosquitoes boost West Nile deaths in lab mice
There's one more reason to try to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes, scientists have discovered: bites from mosquitoes that aren't infected by the West Nile virus may make the disease worse in people who acquire it later from West Nile-infected mosquitoes. view more (2007-11-16)
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... view more...

Gorilla susceptibility to Ebola virus: the cost of sociality
By monitoring a large population of gorillas during an Ebola outbreak in the rain forest of the Republic of the Congo, researchers have found that in a few months the virus exhibited dramatic—but disproportionate—impacts on group-dwelling and solitary gorillas. view more (2006-07-11)
EARLY ASSESSMENT PREDICTS LONG-TERM EFFICACY OF HIV-1 ANTIRETROVIRAL THERAPY (p 1760)
A study in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlights how very early (one week) assessment can reliably predict the long-term effectiveness of antiretroviral therapy for HIV-1. Early assessment of antiretroviral drug efficacy is important for the prevention of the emergence of drug-resistant virus and unnecessary exposure to ineffective and toxic... view more...

Epstein-Barr: a virtual look at a vexing virus
Researchers at Tufts University School of Medicine in collaboration with the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute at Virginia Tech have created a computer program called Pathogen Simulation (PathSim) to study the progression of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in humans. view more (2007-10-23)
Vaccine for Ebola virus
One of the world's deadliest diseases, caused by the Ebola virus, may finally be preventable thanks to US and Canadian researchers, who have successfully tested several Ebola vaccines in primates and are now looking to adapt them for human use. view more (2008-03-31)
West Nile Virus Infection Greater Than Previously Thought (pp 254, 261)
A detailed analysis of the 1999 New York City outbreak of West Nile virus suggests that a substantial - and previously undiagnosed - outbreak of West Nile fever accompanied the 59 cases of West Nile meningoencephalitis, in which seven people died. The authors of the study, which is published in this week's issue of THE LANCET, conclude that for... view more... (2001-07-25)
No-entry zones for AIDS virus
The AIDS virus inserts its genetic material into the genome of the infected cell. Scientists of the German Cancer Research Center have now shown for the first time that the virus almost entirely spares particular sites in the human genetic material in this process. This finding may be useful for developing new, specific AIDS drugs. view more (2009-11-13)
Experimental vaccine protects nonhuman primates from Lassa fever
A team of U.S. and Canadian scientists has developed a vaccine against Lassa fever that fully protects nonhuman primates from experimental infection with lethal doses of Lassa virus. view more (2005-06-28)
Risk of lymphoma increases with hepatitis C virus infection
People infected with the hepatitis C virus (HCV) are at an increased risk of developing certain lymphomas (cancers of the lymphatic system), according to a study published in the May 8, 2007, issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. view more (2007-05-09)
Iowa State University researcher shows proteins have controlled motions
Iowa State University researcher Robert Jernigan believes that his research shows proteins have controlled motions. view more (2008-08-28)
