New study reveals several properties that likely enhance the capsid's ability to sense its environment and find its way to the nucleus

Treatment prevents virus from crossing placenta to infect fetus, mouse study shows

Discovery provides potential target for vaccines, treatments

By modeling the spread of two co-infecting viruses together, within and between growing seasons, the team has shed new light on maize lethal necrosis that will help farmers to manage it effectively

The findings, published online May 18 in the journal Cell, could lead to the first broadly effective ebolavirus therapies and vaccines

The study further implicates viruses in the development of autoimmune disorders such as celiac disease and type 1 diabetes, and raises the possibility that vaccines could one day be used to prevent these diseases

Influenza A viruses can cause devastating pandemics when they are transmitted to humans from pigs, birds, or other animal species

A person doesn't have to get sick to catch a virus. Researchers hope to catch viruses for detection and vaccinations by understanding their sticky outer layers

Sandia prototype dramatically cuts cost, time for detection of mosquito-borne illness

To better understand, prevent, and treat diseases passed from insects to people, the Cornell-led Northeast Regional Center for Excellence in Vector Borne Diseases will launch later this month
