The filoviruses Ebola and Marburg use several different and effective mechanisms to both evade and battle the immune system. This Review explores recent findings in the filovirus–host-defence ...

The rapid identification of respiratory virus outbreaks is needed to enable rational and effective public health interventions. We developed new quantitative approaches for simultaneous ...

Scientists have identified dozens of human proteins that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, depends on to replicate ...

In the vast and often unseen world of microscopic life, a recent discovery may force scientists to rethink what it means to be alive. Nestled inside a tiny plankton cell, researchers found a ...

The porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is an alpha-coronavirus with a positive single-stranded RNA genome of 28 kb (Jung et al., 2020, Lee, 2015). It results in severe diarrhea and vomiting, ...

These assays use either hyperimmune serum or virus protein-specific (e.g., nucleoprotein) antibodies to capture MARV antigen. [66, 73] Direct IgM and IgG ELISAs, as well as IgM-capture ELISAs, are ...

A cure for chronic hepatitis B requires eliminating or permanently silencing covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA). A pivotal target of this approach is the hepatitis B virus (HBV) X protein (HBx), ...

They gathered every genome that has been sequenced from a human virus — 679 in total. They copied pieces of the viral genomes and put them into human cells.

NB.1.8.1 has mutations that could increase the virus’s transmissibility and decrease the efficacy of certain neutralizing antibodies against it.
