Orthohantaviruses, such as the Puumala virus, are widespread in Europe, causing flu-like illnesses and severe kidney damage in those infected. It is increasingly considered a zoonotic threat.

The research, published in Science Advances, brought together scientists from Otago and the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology. The team closely examined the molecular structure of Bas63, a ...

Herpes simplex virus partially liquifies the tightly packed, gel-like interior of human cell nuclei to copy itself faster, a new study shows. The research centers on how the nucleus of each human cell ...

EM images reveal how Marburg virus slips into human cells, exposing glycoprotein “cap” tricks and weak spots that could guide future antivirals, antibodies and vaccines.

The cold season is in full swing, throats are scratchy and noses are running. We feel ill and hope it is not the flu. The ...

Scientists at Harvard Medical School and Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine have mapped a critical component of the Nipah virus, a highly lethal bat-borne pathogen that has ...

Ancient viral fossils buried in our DNA are offering fresh clues about how today’s respiratory pathogens infect and spread. By tracing the shared architecture between long-extinct retroviruses and ...

Efficient intercellular viral spread is critical for pathogenesis and virulence. In a study published in Science Bulletin, researchers from Peking University Health Science Center and Harbin ...

Ongoing research aims to confirm the mechanism by which ICP4 fluidizes the nucleus, which could indicate specific targets to counter viral replication.

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.
