Learn how scientists identified genetic clues that distinguish natural viral spillovers from lab-handled viruses — and why ...

MINNEAPOLIS — University of Minnesota researchers have made key discoveries about one of the world’s most lethal pathogens, the Marburg virus, including potential weaknesses that could result in ...

The story of life’s beginnings gets stranger when you look closely at viruses. These tiny entities seem to sit at the edge of ...

Vallejo wastewater shows high levels of respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, and human metapneumovirus, or HMPV.

Researchers found that the Marburg virus uses a highly efficient entry protein to infect human cells. They also identified a ...

Researchers identify how Marburg virus can efficiently infect human cells, using cryo-EM to demonstrate entry.

Ancient viral fossils buried in our DNA are offering fresh clues about how today’s respiratory pathogens infect and spread. By tracing the shared architecture between long-extinct retroviruses and ...

A group of plant viruses that infect many important crops may have origins stretching back tens of thousands of years, long before humans began farming. A new international study suggests that the ...

In a new study, published in Cell, researchers describe a newfound mechanism for creating proteins in a giant DNA virus, comparable to a mechanism in eukaryotic cells. The finding challenges the dogma ...
