Understanding is crucial, if we are to prevent and treat these viruses effectively.

A new paper in Genome Biology and Evolution, indicates that while the COVID-19 virus has developed rapidly since 2019, it has done so within limited genetic channels. These genetic limits have ...

In a new study of viral abundance over a short time frame in the Sargasso Sea, researchers found that almost all viruses with ...

Over the last several years, we have experienced an increase of large outbreaks of Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever virus in European countries and neighboring areas. This disease poses a great threat ...

Herpes simplex viruses (HSV) are ubiquitous, double‐stranded DNA viruses that establish lifelong infections in human hosts. Central to their cycle is the process of membrane fusion, which permits ...

A major study reveals how genes, immunity and lifestyle shape viral persistence and explain why some infections never fully leave the body ...

A new artificial intelligence tool could aid in limiting or even prevent pandemics by identifying animal species that may harbor and spread viruses capable of infecting humans. The machine learning ...

Scientists have long known that a significant portion of the human genome is made up of the remnants of ancient viruses; these sequences are a subset of transposable elements known as endogenous ...

Baculoviruses are a diverse group of insect viruses that have long served as both biological control agents in agriculture and versatile tools in biotechnology. Their life cycle is marked by two ...
