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…
Disease spillover risk was poorly communicated and oversimplified during COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19First identified in 2019 in Wuhan, China, Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious…
The Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 spreads more easily than the other main variants but also causes less severe illness and death. Researchers discovered which mutations…
The new Omicron BA.5 subvariant has caused a sharp rise in cases and hospitalizations throughout much of the United States. The COVID omicron subvariant known…

Besides zoonotic transmission (from animals to humans), monkeypox virus infections have been reported after person-to-person transmission. German scientists detected viral DNADNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is…
According to new research, Zika and dengue infection makes humans and mice secrete a chemical that may make them more attractive to mosquitoes. Dengue and…
Scientists developed a new, minimally invasive, antibody-based detection method for SARS-CoV-2 (the coronavirus that causes COVID-19) that could lead to the blood sample-free detection of…
According to new research, Zika and dengue fever viruses make infected mice and humans smell more attractive to mosquitoes, causing increased spread of disease. Dengue…
