Discover Latest #Virus News, Articles and Videos with Contenting
A novel coronavirus is a new strain of coronavirus that has not been previously identified in humans. As of this writing, there have been over seven million cases of the virus worldwide, resulting in over 400,000 deaths. The virus is believed to have originated in Wuhan, China, in late December of 2019 and has since spread to nearly every country in the world, with the United States being the hardest hit. As the virus continues to spread, there have been numerous news articles and videos discussing the virus and its effects. 1. WHO: Coronavirus – What We Know So Far This article from the World Health Organization provides an overview of all the information that is currently known about the novel coronavirus. It covers the symptoms, transmission, prevention, and treatment of the virus. It also provides information on how to protect yourself, the latest updates on the virus, and what is being done to contain it. 2. Coronavirus: A Visual Timeline This article from the Washington Post provides a timeline of the novel coronavirus, from its initial appearance in Wuhan to its spread around the world. It includes a timeline of key events, such as the first case, the first
Oropouche Virus: The Growing Need for Global Surveillance | Research Communities by Springer Nature
Oropouche virus (OROV) has long been overlooked as a localized threat. However, rising cases and its spread to regions like Europe, driven by climate change and vector expansion, underscore the urgent need for global surveillance to prevent OROV from becoming a significant public health issue.
Scientists identify mutation that could facilitate H5N1 bird flu virus infection and potential transmission in humans
Avian influenza viruses typically require several mutations to adapt and spread among humans, but what happens when just one change can increase the risk of becoming a pandemic virus?
A genetic variant modulates interferon signaling and disease risk
For years, scientists have looked to a critical piece of immune system machinery - known as the interferon pathway - for answers. There, when our cells sense an infection, they release a protein known as interferon, which warns other cells to fight the virus.
Destabilization by trimerization | Research Communities by Springer Nature
Class I fusion proteins play a crucial role in the entry of many enveloped viruses into host cells. In their prefusion conformation, they exist as metastable trimers on the viral surface, where they are primed by a cleavage event and undergo a dramatic transformtion to a postfusion conformation.
Uncovering the evolutionary origins of the hepatitis E virus
An international team of virologists, mammalian ecologists and zoologists has uncovered the evolutionary origins of the hepatitis E virus. In their study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the group analyzed genomic data for multiple viral hosts.
