As scientists, we often think we understand a virus—its structure, its tricks, the way it moves through the body. But every once in a while, we stumble upon something unexpected—something that ...

Detection of common cold coronaviruses (ccCoVs) decreased by approximately half after the widespread SARS-CoV-2 exposure and COVID-19 vaccination, whereas detection of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV ...

C OVID-19 may leave a lasting impression on the brain, even in people who fully recover from their infection. New research ...

Researchers have developed a powerful tool that can detect variants of SARS-CoV-2 with high transmission potential before they become widespread. This approach could significantly support public ...

UCSF researchers designed new drug candidates that potently block MPro, a viral enzyme that's crucial for SARS-CoV-2 replication. One of these drug candidates, AVI-4516, is shown (center) bound to the ...

During the first few years of the COVID-19 pandemic, the virus SARS-CoV-2 was detected in an increasing number of non-human animal species. This included many wild animal species as well as domestic ...

A team of researchers from the Ministry of Health in Kuwait has successfully demonstrated the destruction of SARS-CoV-2 virus particles through exposure to high-frequency sound waves, marking a ...

A Stanford-led team has found two antibodies that can work together to defeat all SARS-CoV-2 variants. More research is needed, but the approach could help in the development of treatments to keep ...

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been controversy surrounding the origins of SARS-CoV-2. New research from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), School of Medicine ...

The RNA-based Nipah virus, which causes acute respiratory illness and fatal encephalitis, can be transmitted from fruit bats to humans directly or indirectly via pigs or horses. Researchers at Wuhan ...
