The study reveals that Migrion, a chimeric structure of virus and migrasome as an unprecedented unit of viral transmission ...

In this paper we propose stochastic SIRS model which describes propagation of two independent computer viruses. Randomness is introduced in the model by perturbing transmission rates via Brownian ...

Long before Westeros, fantasy and science-fiction author George R.R. Martin had a hand in creating Wild Cards, a shared science-fiction universe involving a pathogen called the "Wild Card" virus that ...

A study using lab-made models of the brain suggests that a herpes virus may be a key link between concussions and dementia risk. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

BK polyomavirus, or BKPyV, is a major cause of kidney transplant failure. There are no effective drugs to treat BKPyV. Research reveals new aspects of BKPyV replication, offering possible drug targets ...

Scientists built a model that allows them to diminish phage communities from a mouse gut microbiome -- and then bring them back -- without affecting the bacteria. On a test run of their model, ...

Researchers had been studying the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii for decades without seeing evidence of an active virus within it—until a pair of Virginia Tech researchers waded into the ...

Zika virus (ZIKV) infection is a major public health concern, particularly due to the severe brain development defects it can cause in fetuses when pregnant women are infected. One of the most serious ...
