Understanding the oceans microbes is key to the Earth's future
Life on Earth may owe its existence to tiny microorganisms living in the oceans, but the effect of human-induced change on the vital services these microbes perform for the planet remains largely unstudied. View More (2005-12-09)
'Achilles' heel' of the herpes virus possibly found
It's one of the most common viruses in America, and one that causes the most guilt and shame. It can get inside almost any kind of human cell, reproduce in vast numbers, and linger for years in the body, causing everything from recurrent genital blisters to sores around the mouth. Its complications can kill, and it may increase susceptibility to many nerve and brain disorders. View More (2005-07-25)
Study holds promise for new way to fight HIV
Researchers have confirmed for the first time the benefit of an innate defense system present in the few patients who remain healthy after years of infection with HIV despite receiving no treatment, according to an article published in the September edition of the Journal of Virology.

Fragment of Yellow Fever Virus May Hold Key to Safer Vaccine
In one of the first molecular studies of the human antibody response to yellow fever, Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) researchers and their colleagues have found the crucial bit of virus that people's immune systems need to spot and quash this often-fatal re-emerging disease.

SLU Researchers Uncover Direct Evidence on How HIV Invades Healthy Cells
Using sophisticated detection methods, researchers at the Saint Louis University Institute for Molecular Virology (IMV) have demonstrated the molecular mechanism by which the HIV virus infects, or integrates, healthy cells. The discovery could lead to new drug treatments for HIV. View More (2005-12-22)
Drug resistance may travel same path as quorum sensing
The cellular "pumps" associated with multi-drug resistance in bacteria may also be involved in exporting signals responsible for cell-cell communication, a process known as quorum sensing. View More (2006-02-07)
Monkeypox mystery: New research may explain why 2003 outbreak in the US wasn't deadly
An outbreak of 72 cases of monkeypox in the United States during the summer of 2003 didn't produce a single fatality, even though the disease usually kills 10 percent of those infected. View More (2005-07-18)
Researcher at UGA College of Veterinary Medicine identifies new way of combating viral diseases
Four seemingly unrelated viral diseases may some day be defeated by a single treatment, according to a recent collaborative study involving researchers at the University of Georgia's College of Veterinary Medicine. View More (2005-09-13)
Mechanism for Epstein-Barr virus protein's role in blood cancers discovered
Earlier this year, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine identified a link between a critical cancer pathway and an Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) protein known to be expressed in a number of EBV-associated cancers. View More (2005-12-27)
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)
New hope for Hepatitis C research
The mystery surrounding Hepatitis C, a disease that affects millions of people worldwide, is one step closer to being solved. View More (2006-08-11)
UCLA scientists discover immune response to HIV differs, even in identical twins
In findings illustrating the difficulty of developing an AIDS vaccine, UCLA AIDS Institute researchers report the immune systems in two HIV-positive identical twins responded to the infection in different ways. View More (2005-12-07)
Evolution in Action: Why Some Viruses Jump Species
Researchers studying strains of a lethal canine virus and a related human virus have determined why the canine virus was able to spread so quickly from cats to dogs, and then from sick dogs to healthy dogs. View More (2006-03-16)
HIV-1 kills immune cells in the gut that may never bounce back
People with HIV have been living longer, healthier lives since the development of highly active antiretroviral therapy (or HAART) in 1995. In fact, most patients on the drug regimen do so well that, according to blood tests, their immune cells appear to return to pre-HIV levels. View More (2006-12-05)
Hantavirus Found in African Wood Mouse
Researchers have discovered the first African hantavirus, a type of rodent-borne virus that can cause life-threatening infections in humans when it is inhaled through aerosolized rodent urine or droppings. View More (2006-04-19)
Microbial website has a makeover
Microbes are everywhere and affect every aspect of our lives. Who hasn’t heard of SARS, HIV, E. coli O157 or Salmonella? The world needs microbiologists to keep one step ahead of the bugs, and there has to be a way of passing on vital information about microbiological issues. The Society for General Microbiology (SGM) aims to promote the subject of microbiology. We publicise important... View More (2003-06-06)
West Nile Virus infections detected in Britain
A paper in the Journal of General Virology reveals that evidence of West Nile virus infections has been found in birds in Britain, according to a team of scientists led by the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH) at Oxford. There are no known cases of human infection and no disease reported in birds. Dr Ernie Gould and colleagues believe that West Nile virus is present and being effectively... View More (2003-07-18)
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 and Veterinary Virology and the Society for General Microbiology at the Royal College of Physicians,...

Drug resistant avian influenza viruses more common in Southeast Asia than North America
Resistance to the antiviral drug amantadine is spreading more rapidly among avian influenza viruses of H5N1 subtype in Southeast Asia than in North America, according to the study done by investigators at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. View More (2005-09-12)
