Sick Beans lead to Nanotech
Farmers get little joy from the cowpea mosaic virus, which attacks legumes. Chemists and molecular biologists at the Scripps Institute in La Jolla are, on the other hand, completely taken with this virus. They are not setting the tiny things loose on plants, however, but have something completely different in mind: the viruses are to act as... view more... (2002-01-22)
How breastfeeding affects HIV transmission
Mother to child transmission of HIV accounts for a large proportion of HIV infections in children, with many infected as a result of breastfeeding, which requires transfer of the virus across mucosal barriers. view more (2005-10-21)
Waking up dormant HIV
HAART (highly active anti-retroviral therapy) has emerged as an extremely effective HIV treatment that keeps virus levels almost undetectable; however, HAART can never truly eradicate the virus as some HIV always remains dormant in cells. view more (2009-03-17)
Producing flu vaccines will be faster and cheaper, thanks to MSU technology
Technology from Michigan State animal science labs looks to produce new human flu vaccines quicker and cheaper than current methods. view more (2006-07-12)
Who will recover spontaneously from hepatitis C virus infection
More than 3% of world population is infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV). The outcome of HCV infections is either self recovery or chronic hepatitis, and many of the chronic infections will develop into liver cirrhosis or liver cancer. view more (2007-08-30)
Fruit fly gene study could yield new flu treatments
As they design new drugs to fight off influenza, scientists may not need to attack the virus directly. Instead, they may be able to stave off infection by targeting one of more than 100 proteins inside host cells on which the virus depends. view more (2008-07-10)
Protein that provides innate defense against HIV could lead to new treatments
By identifying a protein that restricts the release of HIV-1 virus from human cells, scientists believe they may be closer to identifying new approaches to treatment. The research is published in the advance online edition of Nature Medicine. view more (2008-05-27)
Minimising the spread of deadly Hendra virus
Groundbreaking CSIRO research into how the deadly Hendra virus spreads promises to save the lives of both horses and humans in the future. view more (2009-04-15)
Sperm may play leading role in spreading HIV
Sperm, and not just the fluid it bathes in, can transmit HIV to macrophages, T cells, and dendritic cells (DCs), report a team led by Ana Ceballos at the University of Buenos Aires in Argentina. view more (2009-10-26)
Mouse study reveals new clues about virulence of 1918 influenza virus
The first comprehensive analysis of an animal's immune response to the 1918 influenza virus provides new insights into the killer flu, report federally supported scientists in an article appearing online today in the journal Nature. view more (2006-09-29)
Human Cytomegalovirus May Be Involved In Colorectal Cancer (p 1557)
Preliminary findings of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that a common human virus may play a part in the cellular processes involved in the development of colorectal cancer. Colorectal cancer is the second most frequent cause of death from cancer in many developed countries; most tumours arise sporadically with no clear cause... view more... (2002-11-13)
West African Ocean sediment core links monsoons to global climate evolution
Monsoons, the life-giving, torrential rains of Asia and Africa, have an ancient, unsuspected connection to previous Ice Age climate cycles, according to scientists at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and at Kiel University in Germany. view more (2007-06-01)
Vaccine to cope with viral diversity in HIV
The ability of HIV-1 to develop high levels of genetic diversity and acquire mutations to escape immune pressures contributes to our difficulties in producing a vaccine. view more (2007-04-27)
Camelpox and smallpox more similar than originally thought
THE virus that causes camelpox is an even closer relative of the smallpox virus than scientists believed. This heightens fears about its potential risks, particularly because some experts fear that Iraq may be using it in its biological weapons programme. "It was surprising how close these two... view more... (2002-04-17)
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)
Sick Beans lead to Nanotech
Plant viruses as chemically "programmable" building blocks for nanobiotechnology Farmers get little joy from the cowpea mosaic virus, which attacks legumes. Chemists and molecular biologists at the Scripps Institute in La Jolla are, on the other hand, completely taken with this virus. They are not setting the tiny things loose on plants, however,... view more... (2002-02-05)
OHSU finds association between Epstein-Barr virus, inflammatory diseases of the mouth
Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University's School of Dentistry (www.ohsu.edu/sod) have found that a significant percentage of dental patients with the inflammatory diseases irreversible pulpitis and apical periodontitis also have the Epstein-Barr virus. view more (2008-11-11)
Selenium may slow march of AIDS
Increasing the production of naturally occurring proteins that contain selenium in human blood cells slows down multiplication of the AIDS virus, according to biochemists. view more (2008-12-01)
Engineers create 3-D model to help biologists combat blue tongue virus
A large 3D model of the Blue Tongue virus has been created by WMG engineering researchers at the University of Warwick that will help biologists devise new ways to combat the virus and protect millions of livestock from infection. view more (2008-06-23)
How does bluetongue virus survive through the winter?
In 2006, Bluetongue virus - which infects livestock - reached Northern Europe for the first time. Some people thought that the outbreak would be limited to that particular year, as winter was expected to kill off the midges that host and spread the disease, bringing the threat of infection to an end. In actuality, the disease escalated in the... view more... (2008-08-26)
