As summer kicks into full gear and people are spending more time outside, there's one thing on many people's minds - ticks.

The molecular details of the influenza virus-host interplay are discussed in this article as well as how researchers are using this information to design new vaccines and novel antivirals.

Introduction Influenza A (H1N1)pdm09 virus (pH1N1) was the causal factor of the recent flu pandemic, which claimed several hundred lives. The influenza virus leads to respiratory disease that ...

Influenza viruses Flu vaccines contain tiny amounts of the viruses that the vaccine protects against. In the shot, these viruses are inactivated, or dead, so they cannot cause the flu.

In the world of viral research, uncovering a virus’s weaknesses is often a painstaking process that requires years of intricate study. But in a recent breakthrough, researchers have uncovered a ...
