HIV pays a price for invisibility
Mutations that help HIV hide from the immune system undermine the virus's ability to replicate, show an international team of researchers in the April 13 issue of the Journal of Experimental Medicine. view more (2009-04-13)
Scientists detect presence of marburg virus in african fruit bats
A collaborative team of scientists reported findings today demonstrating the presence of Marburg virus RNA genome and antibodies in a common species of African fruit bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus). view more (2007-08-22)
Penn scientists find a protein that inhibits Ebola from reaching out to infect neighboring cells
Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine have identified a protein, ISG15, that inhibits the Ebola virus from budding, the process by which viruses escape from cells and spread to infect neighboring cells. view more (2008-03-04)
Influenza: Insights into cell specificity of human vs. avian viruses
Researchers have identified which sites and cell types within the respiratory tract are targeted by human versus avian influenza viruses, providing valuable insights into the pathogenesis of these divergent diseases. view more (2007-10-10)
Promising antimicrobial attacks virus, stimulates immune system
A promising antimicrobial agent already known to kill bacteria can also kill viruses and stimulate the innate immune system, according to researchers at National Jewish Health. view more (2009-06-04)
Jefferson researchers' discovery may change thinking on how viruses invade the brain
A molecule thought crucial to ferrying the deadly rabies virus into the brain, where it eventually kills, apparently isn't. view more (2007-04-20)
West Nile's North American spread described
The rapid spread of West Nile virus in North America over the past decade is likely to have long-lasting ecological consequences throughout the continent, according to an article in the November issue of BioScience. view more (2008-11-03)
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) treatment
Russian researchers have developed a medication capable of protecting against various human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) strains. Their effort has been supported by the International Scientific Technical Center. Intense search for efficacious human immunodeficiency virus treatment carried out by scientific laboratories worldwide has not yet... view more... (2004-01-30)
Malaria researchers identify new mosquito virus
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health's Malaria Research Institute have identified a previously unknown virus that is infectious to Anopheles gambiae-the mosquito primarily responsible for transmitting malaria. view more (2008-08-22)
Viral marker of human migration suspect
A benign virus previously used as a marker in tracing human migration may be unreliable. view more (2006-10-25)
Research project into Borna Disease Virus
Research being conducted at the University of Northumbria at Newcastle aims to throw light on a virus which could be at the root of many psychological illnesses. view more (1999-07-20)
Scientists discover new virus caused deaths of transplant recipients from single donor
Scientists in the Greene Infectious Disease Laboratory of the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health and colleagues in the Victorian Infectious Diseases Reference Laboratory in Melbourne, Australia and 454 Life Sciences have discovered a new virus that was responsible for the deaths of three transplant recipients who received organs... view more...

New 3-D structural model of critical H1N1 protein developed
In just two weeks from the time the first patient virus samples were made available, Singapore scientists report an evolutionary analysis of a critical protein produced by the 2009 H1N1 influenza A virus strain. view more (2009-05-26)
USC researchers uncover mechanism that allows influenza virus to evade the body's immune response
Researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) have identified a critical molecular mechanism that allows the influenza virus to evade the body's immune response system. view more (2009-05-21)
Racing against the clock to distribute H1N1 flu vaccine
Drug companies are sprinting ahead in a race against the clock to deliver millions of doses of vaccine for the H1N1 influenza virus before cooler weather ushers in the 2009-2010 flu season. view more (2009-10-01)
Study provides new understanding of forces behind seasonal flu virus evolution
Do influenza viruses persist in low levels year-round in the northern and southern hemispheres, or does a new crop of the virus emerge afresh in tropical zones such as Southeast Asia before spreading into temperate regions around the globe" Researchers have provided an answer to this long-standing question: new strains arise each year. view more (2008-04-17)
Scientists uncover Ebola cell-invasion strategy
University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston researchers have discovered a key biochemical link in the process by which the Ebola Zaire virus infects cells - a critical step to finding a way to treat the deadly disease produced by the virus. view more (2008-09-04)
Scientists develop mathematical model to predict the immune response to influenza
Researchers at the University of Rochester have developed a mathematical model to predict immune responses to infection with influenza A viruses, including novel viruses such as the emergent 2009 influenza A (H1N1). view more (2009-05-14)
Parasitic worm infections increase susceptibility to AIDS viruses
Persons infected with schistosomes, and possibly other parasitic worm infections, may be more likely to become infected with HIV than persons without worm infections, according to a study published July 23rd in the open-access journal PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. view more (2008-07-23)
