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
New research shows how small shifts in the molecular makeup of a virus can profoundly alter its fate. These shifts could turn a deadly pathogen into a harmless bug or supercharge a relatively benign virus, influencing its ability to infect humans and cause dangerous outbreaks.
While the COVID-19 pandemic is not yet behind our shoulders, due to the repeated appearance of new SARS-CoV-2 variants and subvariants, the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5N1) virus is being increasingly perceived as a global threat.
Various viruses can cause oncological diseases of various localizations(1). Nowadays, methods of information therapy are being developed that facilitate the elimination of multiple pathogens in various nosologies(2,3).
In science, the most meaningful collaborations often start in unexpected ways. At the MRC-University of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research (CVR), we were invited to share our first experiences of Illumina next generation sequencing with colleagues at the UVRI MRC Unit in Uganda.
