Cases of Borna disease virus 1 (BoDV-1) are extremely rare in humans, but in those who develop disease, the outcome is severe ...

Cryo-EM reveals the first detailed structure of the Bornavirus nucleoprotein–RNA complex, uncovering unique RNA binding and assembly mechanisms.

Researchers have identified DNA from a virus that circulates widely in farmed shrimp and shellfish inside the eye tissues of ...

A new study by researchers at Bar-Ilan University has uncovered that certain ocean viruses—specifically RNA viruses—may disrupt how carbon and nutrients are recycled in the ocean, potentially altering ...

Plant viruses pose significant challenges to agricultural productivity and ecosystem stability worldwide. These infectious agents exhibit a diverse array of genomic organisations and infection ...

Learn what the Nipah virus is, how it spreads, and why it has one of the highest fatality rates among infectious diseases.

Scientists in Switzerland have cracked open a century-old viral mystery by decoding the genome of the 1918 influenza virus from a preserved Zurich patient. This ancient RNA revealed that the virus had ...

Chowdhury’s research team identified 75 epitopes and designed 56 immunogens – short fragments of proteins that could be ...

Scientists have long known that our skin is home to vast communities of bacteria, fungi and viruses. But knowing which ...

The data revealed 82 specific locations (or loci) in the human genome associated with viral DNA load, especially in the Major ...

Using genomics, evolutionary biologists test several hypotheses on the origin of viruses. New evidence suggests they may have emerged more times than previously thought. Corroborating the virus-first ...
