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.... 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... 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... view more (2002-05-14)

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)

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... view more (2003-07-04)

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

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... view more (2008-05-30)

UCLA scientists reveal how Nipah virus infects cells
UCLA scientists have discovered how the deadly Nipah virus infiltrates human cells to cause encephalitis. Designated as a potential bioterrorism agent by the National Biodefense Research Agenda, the virus exploits a protein essential to embryonic development to enter cells and launch its attack.   view more (2005-07-07)

Researchers discover new battleground for viruses and immune cells
Vaccines have led to many of the world's greatest public health triumphs, but many deadly viruses, such as HIV, still elude the best efforts of scientists to develop effective vaccines against them.   view more (2008-02-07)

MicroRNAs may be key to HIV's ability to hide, evade drugs, Jefferson scientists find
Tiny pieces of genetic material called microRNA (miRNA), better known for its roles in cancer, could be a key to unlocking the secrets of how HIV, the AIDS virus, evades detection, hiding in the immune system.   view more (2007-10-01)

U.S. Swine Workers at Increased Risk of Infection with Swine Influenza Virus
People with work exposure to pigs, such as farmers, veterinarians and meat processing workers, are at heightened risk of contracting swine influenza.   view more (2005-11-28)

Farm study raises doubts about new approach to swine-disease control
Sample sizes were small, but eyebrow-raising results from a study on a western Illinois farm have researchers and veterinarians taking a broader look at how swine producers battle an endemic viral disease that adds to their costs and threatens reproduction in their herds.   view more (2006-04-05)

Male circumcision overstated as prevention tool against AIDS
In new academic research published today in the online, open-access, peer-reviewed scientific journal PLoS ONE, male circumcision is found to be much less important as a deterrent to the global AIDS pandemic than previously thought.   view more (2007-06-21)

St. Jude test of bird flu vaccine proves successful
A commercially developed vaccine has successfully protected mice and ferrets against a highly lethal avian influenza virus, according to the investigator who led the study at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.   view more (2006-05-03)

Destruction of fruit bats` habitat could spread disease
New agricultural developments are destroying the habitats of protected fruit bat species in Australia, and could lead to the spread of deadly viral diseases to humans and farm animals, medical experts heard today (Friday 11 January 2002) during a joint meeting of the European Societies of Clinical... view more (2001-12-21)

Soil Passage Drinking Water Purification
Soil passage of surface water for drinking water production is effective enough in the removal of viruses. This is one of the conclusions of the research project of Jack Schijven. He hopes to earn his PhD on Monday 2 April at TU Delft. An example of soil passage is dune filtration. “The new... view more (2001-03-30)

Hepatitis B accounts for 40 percent of 'missing' Asian women
