As reported by UT Austin News, a team led by Jason McLellan used structural biology to both capture a high-resolution model of the Andes hantavirus entry machinery and turn that insight into a vaccine ...

The virus often mutates by simply deleting small pieces of its genetic code. The mutations "disguise" the virus from antibodies.

Discover how CRISPR-based therapy could revolutionize HPAI treatment in poultry, offering farmers a lifesaving alternative to complete flock depopulation and preventing costly outbreaks.

A new University of California San Diego study published in Cell challenges a long-standing assumption about how animal ...

In a new study, researchers across three US states analyzed seven viral outbreaks in recent decades, including Covid, Ebola and influenza, to determine how they emerged and mutated.

Researchers have devised a new tool for discerning between naturally occurring viral outbreaks and those resulting from lab ...

Bacteria and phages that travel in space behave much differently in microgravity than they do in labs on Earth, exciting ...

A Study shows mutation-resistant antibodies with 269×affinity, a proof point for CEPI’s 100 Days Mission and closing ...

A small change to a powerful molecular tool developed by Princeton researchers could help scientists detect disease faster and with greater accuracy. Researchers at Princeton University are developing ...

At least 14 states and Washington, DC, are reporting high or very high flu activity. The dominant flu strain, a version of influenza A (H3N2) called subclade K, has multiple mutations that make it ...

California could see an early start to the annual flu season, as a combination of low vaccination rates and late mutations to the virus may leave the state particularly exposed to transmission, health ...
