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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
Your genes may hold key to how sick you get from the flu
With lessons from the 1918 flu pandemic in the rearview mirror and the avian flu a looming obstacle in the road ahead, researchers from Southern Illinois University School of Medicine are trying to understand why a flu virus kills some people but not others. view more (2006-11-03)
Researchers have discovered a gene that can block the spread of HIV
A team of researchers at the University of Alberta, including a scientist at the University of Pennsylvania, have discovered a gene that is able to block HIV, and thought to in turn prevent the onset of AIDS. view more (2008-02-29)
Harmless virus may hold key to more effective HIV drug discovery
A simple, harmless virus might hold the key to the more effective and efficient development of HIV and anti-viral drugs, UCI chemical biologists have found. view more (2005-08-29)
Duke To Test Bird Flu Vaccine Dosing
A clinical trial to test different strengths of a vaccine designed to fight avian influenza will begin this month at Duke University Medical Center. view more (2006-03-31)
MIT researchers build tiny batteries with viruses
MIT scientists have harnessed the construction talents of tiny viruses to build ultra-small "nanowire" structures for use in very thin lithium-ion batteries. view more (2006-04-07)
Virus named as possible factor in honey bee disorder
A comparison of healthy and unhealthy bee colonies points to a virus contributing to Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), according to a report being published by the journal Science, at the Science Express web site, on 06 September. Science is published by AAAS, the nonprofit science society. view more (2007-09-07)
Malaria researchers identify new mosquito virus
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health's Malaria Research Institute have identified a previously unknown virus that is infectious to Anopheles gambiae-the mosquito primarily responsible for transmitting malaria. view more (2008-08-22)
Study uncovers a lethal secret of 1918 influenza virus
In a study of non-human primates infected with the influenza virus that killed 50 million people in 1918, an international team of scientists has found a critical clue to how the virus killed so quickly and efficiently. view more (2007-01-18)
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)
New influenza vaccine takes weeks to mass produce
Using cell-based methods researchers have developed a commercially viable method for mass producing effective vaccines against potential pandemic influenza strains in weeks instead of the months required for traditional egg-based vaccines. view more (2006-02-17)
UC Riverside Researchers Discover Model Organism For Studying Viruses that Affect Humans
Researchers at the University of California, Riverside have discovered that a simple worm, called C. elegans, makes an excellent experimental host for studying some of the most virulent viruses that infect humans. view more (2005-08-18)
Molecular 'signature' protects cells from viruses
Every cell constantly produces a whole arsenal of proteins. The instruction what is to be built comes from the cell nucleus: this is where the DNA is stored, the heredity molecule in which, so to speak, the construction blueprints for all cellular proteins are stored. view more (2006-10-13)
West Nile virus antibodies sought in birds in England
Scientists at the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology at Oxford are investigating live birds to see whether or not West Nile virus is present and being actively transmitted between resident and migratory birds. No infectious virus has as yet been detected. The birds sampled were healthy, implying that if present the virus is not virulent and may... view more... (2002-10-31)
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)
'Virus chip' detects new virus in prostate tumors
UCSF and Cleveland Clinic scientists have discovered a new virus in human prostate tumors. The type of virus, closely related to viruses typically found in mice, has never been detected in humans. view more (2006-02-27)
