West Nile virus is spreading in Fulton County, Georgia, with positive tests found in mosquito traps. The virus transmits ...

As summer kicks into full gear and people are spending more time outside, there's one thing on many people's minds—ticks.

In recent years, numerous molecular techniques utilizing a generic approach have been described for flavivirus diagnosis. [114–129] For identification of flaviviruses, molecular amplification ...

The flavivirus family also includes the viruses that cause dengue and yellow fever. Seven cases of the illness imported by travellers in the past 25 years, with no cases ever reported locally.

West Nile virus, part of the flavivirus family, can cause neurological disease and death in humans – although most people will make a full recovery.

La Jolla Institute for Immunology professor Sujan Shresta, Ph.D. will receive more than $2.4 million from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases to help test experimental ...

In-silico pipeline is applied for identifying and designing novel inhibitors against ZIKV NS1 protein. Comparative molecular docking studies are performed to explore the binding of structurally ...

Future studies will focus on the molecular mechanisms by which CMPK2 inhibits flavivirus replication. This knowledge will aid in the design of novel therapeutic antiviral strategies.

During infection, flavivirus core proteins migrate to the nucleus of host cells to aid viral replication. Researchers have identified a transporter protein, called importin-7 (IPO7), as crucial for ...

Researchers have identified IPO7 as a carrier of flavivirus core protein into host cell nucleus, paving the way for a new therapeutic approach to a range of diseases.
