A study published in PNAS Microbiology found that enveloped viruses harbor greater cross-species transmissibility and are more likely to cause zoonotic infections than nonenveloped viruses. The ...

A new method that can rapidly determine whether a virus is infectious or non-infectious could revolutionize the response to future pandemics, researchers report. A new method that can rapidly ...

During their entry into host cells, the virus envelope and the host cell membrane fuse, creating a pore through which the virus's genetic material enters the host cell and starts replicating. The ...

Viruses in water pose major public health threats, yet their structural diversity makes them unequally susceptibility to disinfection. This study systematically explored how reactive oxygen species ...

Antiviral therapies are notoriously difficult to develop, as viruses can quickly mutate to become resistant to drugs, or hide within cells. Researchers at NYU have now developed a new approach to ...

Researchers in Japan have uncovered the mechanism for how the measles virus (MeV) can cause subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, or SSPE, a rare but fatal neurological disorder that can occur several ...
