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
Avian flu's leap to humans: Understanding risks and prevention strategies
Comprehensive report by the EFSA and ECDC delves into the factors that could prompt an avian influenza virus to evolve and potentially spark a pandemic, emphasizing the One Health approach for effective prevention and risk mitigation strategies.
Hunting for the authentic host of giant viruses in the marine environment | Research Communities by Springer Nature
We Identified host-virus pairs in the natural environment using single-cell RNA sequencing. It enabled us to find rare, active viral infections, co-occurring in diverse protist populations. It sheds light on rare viruses and their impact on their protist host population dynamics.
Diet switch pre-vaccination improves immune response and metabolic status in formerly obese mice | Research Communities by Springer Nature
Metabolic disease is linked to severe complications upon influenza virus infection, making a vaccination a priority. Yet, vaccine responses are less effective in these same hosts. Here we examined how the timing of diet switching affected influenza vaccine efficacy in diet-induced obese mice.
Study discovers hidden mechanism behind rapid COVID variants
The SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID has the unsettling ability of often generating variants of itself. Other viruses also mutate, but as SARS-CoV-2 quickly spread throughout the entire human population during the pandemic, killing millions, the virus' dynamic evolution posed a serious problem: it repeatedly challenged our bodies' immune response fighting the virus and hindered the process of getting updated vaccines ready.
How Xylitol and Gluten Change Human Gut Microbiota and Biofilm - Celiac.com
Human gut microbiota contains many viruses, bacteria and fungi. Escherichia coli representatives are facultative anaerobic bacteria in the colon that play a crucial role in the metabolism of lactose, vitamin synthesis and immune system modulation. E. coli forms a biofilm on the epithelial cell surface of the intestine that can be modified by diet compounds, such as gluten, xylitol, lactose and probiotics. Researchers recently examined the impact of probiotic-derived Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG strain on non-pathogenic E. coli biofilm. They also also treated mono- and multi-species biofilm with gluten, xylitol and lactose. Here's what they found.
