Abstract Viruses infecting higher plants are among the smallest viruses known and typically have four to ten protein-encoding genes. By contrast, many vi…

One way flu viruses change is called “antigenic drift.” Drift consists of small changes (or mutations) in the genes of influenza viruses that can lead to …

Rather, viruses need to invade a living organism to replicate, said Dr. Otto Yang, a professor of medicine and microbiology, immunology and molecular gene…

Dengue viruses are spread to people through the bite of an infected Aedes species ( Ae. aegypti or Ae. albopictus ) mosquito. Almost half of the world’s p…

Viruses are microscopic infectious agents that contain genetic material, either DNA or RNA , and must invade a host in order to multiply. Predominantly, v…

Viruses evolve rapidly and hence the human virome changes constantly. [7] Every human being has a unique virome with a unique balance of species. [4] [8] …

Viruses are continuously changing as a result of genetic selection. They undergo subtle genetic changes through mutation and major genetic changes through…

Seasonal influenza (flu) vaccines are designed to protect against the four main groups of flu Type A and B viruses that research indicates are most likely…

Many viruses evolve rapidly. This is due, in part, to their high mutation rates. Mutation rate estimates for over 25 viruses are currently available. Here…

Viruses constantly change through a process called mutation. When a virus has one or more new mutations, it’s called a variant of the original virus. Sinc…

Many viruses are latent for decades before being reactivated in the brain by stress, immune compromise, or other factors. After the initial oral infectio…

Coexistence of viruses and their hosts imposes an evolutionary pressure on both the virus and the host immune system. On the one hand, the host has develo…

Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) are important causes of human disease nearly worldwide. All arboviruses circulate among wild animals, and many cause…

Abstract Respiratory viruses can be transmitted by multiple modes, including contaminated surfaces, commonly referred to as fomites. Efficient fomite tra…

Viruses are very small and most of them can be seen only by TEM (transmission electron microscopy). TEM has therefore made a major contribution to virolog…

­­Computer viruses can be a nightmare. Some can wipe out the information on a hard drive, tie up traffic on a computer network for hours, turn an innocent…

Influenza viruses that normally circulate in pigs are called “variant” viruses when they are found in people. Influenza A H3N2 variant viruses (also known…

Influenza viruses change from year to year, so influenza vaccines must be updated annually to include the viruses that will most likely circulate in the u…

The probably multiple origins of viruses are lost in a sea of conjecture and speculation, which results mostly from their nature: no-one has ever detected…

The American Cancer Society offers programs and services to help you during and after cancer treatment. Below are some of the resources we provide. We can…

Adeno-associated viruses , from the parvovirus family, are small viruses with a genome of single stranded DNA . These viruses can insert genetic material …

This morning, ABC announced that Jenny McCarthy would be taking the place of Elisabeth Hasselbeck this fall as co-host of The View. Announcing the hire, p…

Influenza viruses that infect birds are called avian influenza viruses. Only influenza A viruses infect birds, and all known subtypes of influenza A virus…

While viruses and other pathogens do not discriminate between hosts based on race, ethnicity, nationality or immigration status — stigma and misinformatio…
