Institute for Animal Health at the BA: the changing world of animal disease
Where do new diseases come from and how do they spread? The Institute for Animal Health will address these questions at the BA Festival of Science on Tuesday 09 September. A press conference will be held at 1100 hrs in the Newton Building, University of Salford. view more (2003-09-01)
Safer Flu Vaccine in Cold Conditions
Using cold temperatures could help make quicker, cheaper and safer influenza vaccines, according to Dr Alison Whiteley at the Society for General Microbiology's Spring Meeting in Edinburgh today, Monday 7 April 2003. view more (2003-04-02)
Combination vaccine protects monkeys from ebola and Marburg viruses
An experimental, combination vaccine against Ebola and Marburg viruses using virus-like particles (VLPs) provides complete protection against infection in monkeys. view more (2008-02-27)
Lack of sleep activates body's defence mechanisms
A lack of sleep is considered a threat situation, which activates the body's defence mechanisms. This is the same type of response that protects the body against viruses and bacteria as well as in stress situations. view more (2005-03-16)
Cancer-killing viruses influence tumor blood-vessel growth
Viruses genetically designed to kill cancer cells offer a promising strategy for treating incurable brain tumors such as glioblastoma, but the body's natural defenses often eliminate the viruses before they can eliminate the tumor. view more (2008-06-11)
Discovery may help defang viruses
Researchers may be able to tinker with a single amino acid of an enzyme that helps viruses multiply to render them harmless, according to molecular biologists who say the discovery could pave the way for a fast and cheap method of making vaccines. view more (2007-08-29)
Scientists learn more about how viruses reproduce, spread
Biochemists at Wake Forest University School of Medicine have made a surprising discovery about the inner workings of a powerful virus - a discovery that they hope could one day lead to better vaccines or anti-virus medications. view more (2006-04-07)
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)
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)
Scientists create chip that detects viruses faster, better and cheaper than ever before
A new silicon chip that harnesses emerging technology at the nano scale will allow the detection of viruses faster, and more accurately, than ever before. One of the applications of this new technique will help save thousands of lives in patients undergoing heart transplants; by enabling doctors to detect rapidly whether a donor heart is infected... view more...

Novel virus entry mechanism could lead to new drugs against poxviruses
Research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on 11 April describes how the Imperial College London team discovered the mechanism allowing Vaccinia virus to shed its outer lipid membrane and enter cells. The mechanism is unique in virology and paves the way for development of new antiviral drugs. view more (2006-04-12)
Fine-tuning lasers to destroy blood-borne diseases like AIDS
Physicists in Arizona State University have designed a revolutionary laser technique which can destroy viruses and bacteria such as AIDS without damaging human cells and may also help reduce the spread of hospital infections such as MRSA. view more (2007-11-01)
Viral epidemics poised to go mobile
If you own a computer, chances are you have experienced the aftermath of a nasty virus at some point. view more (2009-05-22)
Texas A&M Researchers Examine How Viruses Destroy Bacteria
Viruses are well known for attacking humans and animals, but some viruses instead attack bacteria. Texas A&M University researchers are exploring how hungry viruses, armed with transformer-like weapons, attack bacteria, which may aid in the treatment of bacterial infections. view more (2009-11-19)
New research identifies faster detection of viruses
A more specific and faster detection of viruses has been identified in new research by Trinity College Dublin's Professor of Physics, Martin Hegner at Trinity College's Centre of Research on Adaptive Nanostructures and Nanodevices (CRANN) and an international team of researchers. view more (2009-02-17)
Molecular Anatomy of Influenza Virus Detailed
Scientists at the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), part of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md., and colleagues at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville have succeeded in imaging, in unprecedented detail, the virus that causes influenza. view more (2007-01-02)
Computer Models Aid Understanding of Antibody-Dependent Enhancement in Spread of Dengue Fever
Some viruses' ability to exploit the human body's own defenses to increase their replication may be both a blessing and curse, according to the findings of a study conducted by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. view more (2005-10-17)
Why predicting the next influenza pandemic is difficult and how scientists can best prepare
In planning for a future influenza pandemic, most experts agree that two things are known for certain—there will be another pandemic someday, and nobody can predict when. view more (2007-05-09)
Flu virus trots globe during off season
The influenza A virus does not lie dormant during summer but migrates globally and mixes with other viral strains before returning to the Northern Hemisphere as a genetically different virus, according to biologists who say the finding settles a key debate on what the virus does during the summer off season when it is not infecting people. view more (2007-09-21)
New method will 'shake up' the world of virus detection
A team of Cambridge scientists have invented a new method that could revolutionise the way scientists detect viruses. It works by 'vibrating' viruses and listening to the sound they make as they break away from a surface. The secret lies in tiny quartz crystals less than 1cm in diameter and 1mm thick. An antibody is used to bind the virus to the... view more... (2001-08-30)
