Researchers have proposed a new evolutionary model for the origin of a kingdom of viruses called Bamfordvirae, suggesting a billion-years evolutionary arms race between two groups within this kingdom and their hosts.
An international team of oceanologists, chemists and microbiologists has announced the discovery of several new viruses that infect plankton in all of the world's oceans. In their paper published in the journal Nature, the ...
Financial distress can spread through the business network that links different firms at a speed that is dependent on the intensity of interfirm interactions. Empirical results show that, starting from the '80s, the economy ...
A University of Alberta engineering researcher has developed an antimicrobial solution that kills infectious pathogens on contact with face masks and other personal protective equipment (PPE).
A new discovery by researchers at the University of Warwick could help stop bacteria being contaminated with viruses, reducing disruption and decreasing costs in industry and research.
A multidisciplinary research team has produced a promising virus-fighting protein using a quick, portable process that could be easily deployed at the source of a future virus outbreak. The team includes researchers from ...
During a large-scale study of complex single-celled microbes, Dr. Christopher Bellas, Marie-Sophie Plakolb and Prof. Ruben Sommaruga from the Department of Ecology at the University of Innsbruck made an unexpected discovery. ...
"Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" Scientists have long faced a similar question about how human adenovirus replicates: "Which comes first, assembly of the viral particle, or packaging of the viral genome?"
The risk for pandemic diseases caused by arboviruses is rising as the dispersal rate of their arthropod vectors increases. During probing and feeding of arthropod vectors, vector-borne viruses are delivered into vertebrate/plant ...
The rapid spread of COVID-19 may have been partly due to changes in the structure of the SARS-CoV-2 virus wrought by an early mutation in its genome, a detailed analysis by RIKEN researchers suggests. The finding, published ...
