COVID-19 is a reminder of their destructive power, but they’re crucial to humans’ development and survival. Although feared as agents of disease, viruses also work wonders, shaping evolution ...

We demonstrated a lateral flow immunoassay (LFA) for detection of viruses using fluorescently labeled M13 bacteriophage as reporters and single-reporter counting as the readout. AviTag-biotinylated ...

There’s a new virus wiping out Minnesota turkey flocks, and unlike with bird flu the federal government doesn’t cover producers for losses. Last year, Minnesota growers lost an estimated 2.2 ...

The expression of symptoms of viral infections is a byproduct of complex virus-host molecular pathways. These remain largely unknown, especially in the case of fungus-virus pathogen systems.

In this work, we report a rigid nucleotide-independent spin label that places paramagnetic Cu(II) within the DNA helix. The labeling strategy exploits the chelation of Cu(II) to two 8-aminoquinoline ...

One example is norovirus, a highly contagious stomach virus that is common on cruise ships and is also spread seasonally. The virus cannot be killed with hand sanitizer, but is "easily destroyed ...

West Nile virus has been found in mosquitoes collected in the UK for the first time, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has said. The virus, which mostly spreads to people through mosquito ...
