Malaria and Epstein-Barr virus linked to pediatric cancer in Africa
Endemic Burkitt lymphoma is a form of cancer that accounts for up to 74% of malignant disorders in children in equatorial Africa. Malaria and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) are known cofactors in its development, but to date, their relative contribution has not been well understood.   view more (2007-06-08)

'GreeneChip' — New diagnostic tool that rapidly and accurately identifies multiple pathogens
Researchers in the Greene Infectious Disease Laboratory at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health and their colleagues in the WHO Global Laboratory Network have developed a new tool for pathogen surveillance and discovery-the GreeneChip System.   view more (2006-12-06)

'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... view more (2005-07-25)

Discovery in plant virus may help prevent HIV and similar viruses
In a study that could lead to new ways to prevent infection by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and similar organisms, Purdue University researchers have been able to genetically modify a plant to halt reproduction of a related virus.   view more (2007-08-01)

Reconstructed 1918 flu virus providing insights for potential pandemics
For the first time, this deadly 1918 Spanish flue virus has been reconstructed and characterized.   view more (2005-10-06)

Gene therapy advance treats hemophilia in mouse models
A virus that typically infects insects could help with the development of gene therapy treatment for Hemophilia A, a condition in which even a bump on the knee can cause serious internal bleeding in people.   view more (2005-08-23)

Hit-and-run injury to the brain
A seven-year tracking study has prompted scientists to suggest that chronic fatigue syndrome could be the result of brain injuries inflicted during the early stages of glandular fever.   view more (2006-03-02)

Problem of emerging infectious diseases likely to worsen
Emerging infectious diseases pose a global threat to human and animal health, and the problem is likely to worsen, warns an expert in this week's BMJ.   view more (2005-11-28)

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.   view more (2005-06-17)

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.   view more (2005-09-02)

Children who have been treated with steroids and are exposed to chicken pox tend to have a more severe case of the virus.   view more (2005-10-19)

Cell's fight against cancer revealed
If anything in cancer biology can be likened to a cage match, this is it: the battle inside the cell walls between LTag, "The Most Amazing Molecule in the Universe," and p53, "The Guardian of the Genome."   view more (2006-09-01)

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)

Sound nutrition for children is an unmet human right
The three largest nutrition crises in the world today are in West Africa, Niger and Ethiopia and, contrary to popular perception, they are not the result of conflict or natural disaster.   view more (2006-02-10)

US fires release large amounts of carbon dioxide
Large-scale fires in a western or southeastern state can pump as much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere in a few weeks as the state's entire motor vehicle traffic does in a year.   view more (2007-11-01)

HIV-1's high virulence might be an accident of evolution
The virulence characteristic of HIV-1—the virus predominantly responsible for human AIDS—might amount to an accident of evolution, new evidence reveals.   view more (2006-06-16)

Scientists find mutations that let bird flu adapt to humans
By comparing influenza viruses found in birds with those of the avian virus that have also infected human hosts, researchers have identified key genetic changes required for pandemic strains of bird flu.   view more (2006-11-16)

Contagious obesity? Identifying the human adenoviruses that may make us fat
Human adenoviruses may cause human obesity, but more research is needed before a screening test and vaccine become reality.   view more (2006-01-30)

Vaccine provides 100 percent protection against avian flu virus in animal study
