Five years ago, a mysterious new virus emerged in Wuhan, China, marking the start of a global health crisis. Initially nameless, the virus and the illness it caused would eventually ignite a ...

A quadruple whammy of viruses – flu, COVID, norovirus, and respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV – is hitting the U.S. as the year comes to a close. The Centers for Disease Control and ...

Here, we describe structures of the Nipah virus L-P polymerase complex and the L-protein’s Connecting Domain (CD). The cryo-electron microscopy L-P complex structure reveals the organization of the ...

Most norovirus outbreaks occur when people who are already infected spread the virus to others by direct means, such as through sharing food or eating utensils. Outbreaks can also be spread ...

Nonetheless, it reflects peaks and trends in the spread of the virus, which usually circulates more widely between November and April every year. The U.S. reports around 2,500 outbreaks a year ...

Among these, the icosahedral structure, measuring up to 75 nanometers in diameter, stands out for its ability to hold three times more genetic material than conventional gene delivery vectors ...

While this development has not changed the CDC’s official assessment of risk to the general public, it does indicate that the H5N1 virus is capable of adapting to human airways. If you're ...

The CDC said the patient's sample showed mutations in the hemagglutinin (HA) gene, the part of the virus that plays a key role in it attaching to host cells. The health body said, opens new tab ...

There is no authorised vaccine or treatment for Marburg, though Rwanda received hundreds of doses of a vaccine under trial in October. What is the ‘bleeding eye’ virus? Explained An outbreak ...
