Researchers compared SARS-CoV-2 with the related bat coronavirus RaTG13 and studied how viral proteins interacted with immune proteins in bat and human lung cells. A protein called OrfB9 emerged as ...

Avian influenza viruses typically require several mutations to adapt and spread among humans, but what happens when just one change can increase the risk of becoming a pandemic virus? A recent study ...

Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Lassa virus (LASV) glycoprotein complex (GPC) contains retained stable-signal peptide (SSP), glycoprotein 1 (GP1), and glycoprotein 2 (GP2).

Influenza A virus particles strategically adapt their shape -- to become either spheres or larger filaments -- to favor their ability to infect cells depending on environmental conditions, according ...

In early December 2024, a group of researchers published an article in the journal Science, entitled “A single mutation in bovine influenza H5N1 hemagglutinin switches specificity to human receptors”.

A Belgian case report traced virological failure of long-acting cabotegravir/rilpivirine to an NNRTI resistance mutation ...

Researchers uncover how a key human immune protein curbs H5N1 avian flu, but the virus is evolving—could we be on the brink of a new zoonotic threat? Research Letter: Replication Restriction of ...

The virus that causes COVID-19 is accumulating genetic mutations, one of which may have made it more contagious. The number of virus strains present in each zip code in Houston during the second wave ...

Broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) are among the most promising new treatments for HIV, offering the potential to forego traditional daily doses of antiretroviral drugs. In one recent clinical ...
