"The structure of the virus provides a map that shows potential regions of the virus that could be targeted by a therapeutic treatment, used to create an effective vaccine or to improve our ability to diagnose and distinguish Zika infection from that of other related viruses"

Southern Research announced a new test that can be used by researchers worldwide to detect the virus in infected cell cultures

One whole endogenous retrovirus genome–and bits of 17 others–were spotted in a study of 2,500 human genomes

Sandia’s QUASR enables speedy, accurate detection of West Nile and other viruses.

The Aedes aegypti mosquito will likely be increasingly abundant across much of the southern and eastern United States as the weather warm

New FSU research led by Professor of Biological Science Hengli Tang finds the Zika virus is directly targeting brain development cells and stunting their growth

Researchers will study the health effects of Zika on pregnant women and babies, the effectiveness of drones for vector control activities, and public understanding of the virus.

Work brings to light an understanding of how CRISPRs differentiate virus’ DNA from its own genetic material.

The next step, researchers said, is to understand how this technology might be useful in the wild.

Scientists at the University of Leeds will run the equivalent of password cracking software to find the chemical keys to defeating the Ebola virus
