Ushikuvirus is a newly identified giant virus that infects amoebas, adding to a growing group of oversized viruses that scientists believe may have played an important role in the emergence of complex ...

Learn how a newly discovered virus disrupts its host’s nucleus in ways that echo how complex cells may have formed billions of years ago. The boundary between viruses and cellular life may be thinner ...

The origin of life on Earth becomes even more fascinating and complex as we peer into the mysterious world of viruses. Said to have existed since living cells first appeared, these microscopic ...

Nipah virus is a zoonotic virus harbored by fruit bats. It can be transmitted to pigs and humans, infect people through contaminated food, and can travel directly from person to person via droplets.

The WSU research team modulated one interaction of a common and complex virus protein, called glycoprotein B , to prevent viruses from fusing with cells and causing illness. PULLMAN, Wash — Washington ...

Toward the goal of efficient editing of farm animals for genetic improvements, this study explores an upgraded form of nuclease PE (uPEn). Based on the resolved structure of the NiV polymerase L-P ...

The expression of symptoms of viral infections is a byproduct of complex virus-host molecular pathways. These remain largely unknown, especially in the case of fungus-virus pathogen systems. Fungal ...
