According to a new research study, viruses can inflame and disrupt connections between the olfactory system and the part of the brain associated with memory…
Parvovirus B19 is a relatively common viral infection, especially in children. It is estimated that up to 50% of people have been infected with Parvovirus…
A previously unidentified immune response inside the nose that fights off viruses responsible for upper respiratory infections has been discovered by researchers. It can help…
Researchers have identified the specific mutations in the monkeypox virus that contribute to its continued infectiousness. Scientists show how monkeypox mutations cause the virus to…
Viruses are using information from their environment to “decide” when to sit tight inside their hosts and when to multiply and burst out, killing the…
A mystery surrounding Crohn’s disease, a type of inflammatory bowel disease, may have been solved by a new study. This image depicts an intestine affected…
An obscure family of viruses, already endemic in wild African primates and known to cause fatal Ebola-like symptoms in some monkeys, is “poised for spillover”…
Phages can sense bacterial DNA damage, which triggers them to replicate and jump ship. Viruses may be ‘watching’ you – some microbes lie in wait…
