You are mostly but not entirely human. If we crunch the numbers, 8% of your genome actually comes from viruses that got ...

Scientists share detailed, complete images of a viral structure called the Ebola virus nucleocapsid. This breakthrough may accelerate the development of antivirals that target this viral structure ...

With cryo-EM, researchers can see every molecule in the virus, enabling the team to capture every angle and reconstruct it into a 3D structure featuring the details of the surface proteins.

Discover how a structural breakthrough in the chikungunya virus is opening new avenues for antiviral drug development and targeted therapies.

Powassan virus (POWV), a type of flavivirus closely related to the Zika and Dengue viruses, is an emerging tick-borne virus ...

A new Zika virus vaccine developed in Brazil by researchers at the Institute of Tropical Medicine of the University of São Paulo's Medical School (IMT-FM-USP) has been shown to be safe and effective ...

Researchers announce that they have pieced together the entire genetic structure of a simple virus in just two weeks. Previous efforts have taken years. The scientists, led by genetic researcher ...

Why don't sanitizers work against the norovirus? The structure that encloses the virus—the capsid—protects the virus and makes it more resistant to alcohol-based sanitizers.

Students from Las Américas ASPIRA Academy High School pose with an augmented reality model of a Brome mosaic virus, part of the VirusGo teaching platform developed by University of Delaware chemistry ...
