Gene therapy for hereditary lung disease advances
An experimental gene therapy to combat alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, a common hereditary disorder that causes lung and liver disease, has caused no harmful effects in patients and shows signs of being effective, University of Florida researchers say. view more (2006-11-22)
Deaths from rodent virus raise need for tracking system
After the deaths of seven people from a virus transmitted through organ donation in the past two years, authorities are recommending that a tracking system be put in place to monitor patients following transplantation, and until then, physicians should be more vigilant in looking for signs of infection transmitted through transplantation. view more (2006-05-25)
Avian flu virus unlikely to spread through wastewater and drinking water treatment systems, Cornell researchers find
A close relative of the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (H5N1) can be eliminated by waste and drinking water treatments, including chlorination, ultraviolet (UV) radiation and bacterial digesters. The virus is harmless to humans but provides a study case of the pathways by which the influenza could spread to human populations. view more (2007-01-04)
Mayo Clinic Cancer Center: Harnessing the measles virus to attack cancer
Mayo Clinic Cancer Center has opened a new clinical study using a vaccine strain of the measles virus to attack recurrent glioblastoma multiforme, a largely untreatable brain tumor. This is the second of several pending molecular medicine studies in patients using measles to kill cancer. view more (2006-10-31)
How cow warts, clergy sex surveys moved along cancer vaccine
The creation of a successful vaccine against cervical cancer, approved today by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, is the culmination of research that occurred thanks not only to scientists and physicians, but also to generous farmers and veterinarians, priests and nuns willing to tell all — and some very patient cows. view more (2006-06-12)
Flu virus reported to resist drug envisioned for pandemic
An avian influenza virus isolated from an infected Vietnamese girl has been determined to be resistant to the drug oseltamivir, the compound better known by its trade name Tamiflu, and the drug officials hope will serve as the front line of defense for a feared influenza pandemic. view more (2005-10-17)
Mayo Clinic researchers enhance safety and effectiveness of therapeutic virus that fights cancer
Mayo Clinic researchers working with colleagues in Germany have devised a much-needed multilevel safety feature for viruses used to treat cancer. view more (2006-08-01)
Silver bullet: UGA researchers use laser, nanotechnology to rapidly detect viruses
Waiting a day or more to get lab results back from the doctor's office soon could become a thing of a past. Using nanotechnology, a team of University of Georgia researchers has developed a diagnostic test that can detect viruses as diverse as influenza, HIV and RSV in 60 seconds or less. view more (2006-11-16)
Experimental vaccine protects lab animals against several strains of H5N1
Nations are preparing to stockpile vaccines against H5N1, the strain of influenza virus that experts fear could cause the next flu pandemic. But will these vaccines remain effective as the virus mutates? view more (2006-06-14)
Flu shot might also offer some protection against H5N1
The yearly influenza vaccine that health officials urge people to get each fall might also offer certain individuals some cross protection against the H5N1 virus, commonly known as bird flu, according to investigators at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. view more (2007-02-14)
Web model of influenza-host lifecycles will aid scientists in creating anti-viral drugs
A "starry sky" map linking the myriad interactions between the influenza virus and its human host will help guide researchers in creating new anti-viral drugs, say researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center. view more (2006-01-31)
More than drought affecting wheat yields
Wheat producers have more than the drought cutting into their yields this year, said two Texas Agricultural Experiment Station researchers. view more (2006-06-07)
Bird flu leaves the nest -- adapting to a new host
Current research suggests that viral polymerase may provide a new therapeutic target for host-adapted avian influenza. view more (2009-08-27)
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)
Genetic mutation linked to West Nile virus infection
A genetic mutation that protects against HIV increases the risk of developing clinical West Nile Virus infection. view more (2006-01-09)
U of M identifies cell line that is resistant to retroviruses, including HIV
Researchers at the University of Minnesota have identified a protein that enables viruses such as HIV to infect cells and spread through the body. view more (2006-10-18)

New host species for avian influenza identified
In a new study published online in the open-access journal PLoS Pathogens, Dr. Vincent J. Munster, of Erasmus Medical Center, Rotterdam, and colleagues identify new host species for avian influenza A virus (H5N1) and provide important information on the distinctions between the ecology and epidemiology of various global strains of the virus. view more (2007-05-11)
Research holds promise for herpes vaccine
A study by a Montana State University researcher suggests a new avenue for developing a vaccine against genital herpes and other diseases caused by herpes simplex viruses. view more (2006-10-16)
Combination microbicides protect monkeys against HIV-like virus
Experiments in female monkeys have for the first time shown that when used in combination, vaginal gels known as microbicides can protect against an HIV-like virus. view more (2005-11-02)
