The recently emerged clade Ib of mpox virus (MPXV) is spreading rapidly across Central and West Africa raising concerns about its potential virulence. Similar to clade IIb lineage B.1, which was ...

Identifying viral replication within cells demands labor-intensive isolation methods, requiring specialized personnel and additional confirmatory tests. To facilitate this process, we developed an ...

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) can cause severe lower respiratory tract infections, particularly in newborns and older ...

To better understand BKPyV replication and ways to prevent it, researchers in the UAB Department of Microbiology have published a single-cell analysis of BKPyV infection in primary kidney cells. Their ...

Following infection, Ebola virus can survive unnoticed in the human body for months or even years, hiding in areas with little immune surveillance like the central nervous system.

Effective vaccines dramatically changed the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, preventing illness, reducing disease severity, and saving millions of lives. However, five years later, SARS-CoV-2 is still ...

Researchers at the University of Iowa (UI) Health Care and colleagues at the Texas Biomedical Research Institute, and Boston University, used human skin explants to track the cellular route that the ...

Researchers have used human brain organoids to demonstrate that Ebola virus can replicate in neural tissue for up to 120 days, offering new insights into viral persistence mechanisms in ...

As the industry moves toward continuous bioprocessing, more effective ways are being developed to validate viral clearance. Researchers at Asahi Kasei Bioprocess America have developed a small-scale ...

Bats are widely recognized as the primary hosts of filoviruses, such as Ebola, yet the specific host species of ebolaviruses are not definitively known. In a study led by the University of California, ...

Following infection, the Ebola virus can survive unnoticed in the human body for months or even years, hiding in areas with little immune surveillance like the central nervous system. The danger is ...

The influenza virus manipulates the body's gene regulation system to accelerate its own spread. A new study also shows that an already approved drug could help strengthen immune defenses -- though its ...
