Nipah virus is a zoonotic virus harbored by fruit bats. It can be transmitted to pigs and humans, infect people through contaminated food, and can travel directly from person to person via droplets.
Washington State University researchers have found a way to modulate a common virus protein to prevent viruses from entering ...
Viruses often use glycans to shield themselves from the immune system of an infected host, but in this case, the structural data showed that HCV's glycans apparently have another key role: in helping ...
An ancient viral infection may have given animals the tools to become fast, coordinated and smart, a study has found. According to a paper published Thursday in Cell, complex nervous systems arose in ...
