New research reveals how ocean viruses burst algae cells, fueling a subsurface oxygen band through rapid microbial recycling.

In a new study, we and an international team of scientists examined the behavior of marine viruses in a large band of ...

A type of virus thought to be a 'mere curiosity' is plentiful in one common bacteria, and possibly others, a research team has found. The discovery improves understanding of how viruses work and could ...

BOZEMAN – Matthew Taylor likened his recently published work alongside doctoral student Gary Dunn to kicking over a rock. Once the discovery was made, it was time to see what lay beneath. Taylor, an ...

With antimicrobial resistance becoming a silent pandemic, researchers are gradually shifting their focus from formulating new antibiotics to exploring the potential of naturally occurring viruses in ...

Dear Doctor: Everybody is talking about the coronavirus right now, but I still don't really know what a virus is. How do they work? Why don't antibiotics kill them? Dear Reader: You're far from alone ...

Researchers discovered how rabies virus exerts massive control over host cells with very few genes. A key viral protein changes shape and binds RNA, allowing it to infiltrate different cellular ...

For centuries, the nature of a fever — and whether it's good or bad — has been hotly contested. In ancient Greece, the physician Hippocrates thought that fever had useful qualities, and could cook an ...

Engineered mini organs from the most common bat species have been developed to study infections by key viruses, including COVID-19 and influenza. A team led by researchers from the Institute for Basic ...

A type of virus thought to be a "mere curiosity" is plentiful in one common bacteria, and possibly others, a Monash University-led research team has found. The discovery improves understanding of how ...
