HIV ‘hotspots’ not necessarily major drivers of new infections
Areas of high HIV prevalence, known as ‘hotspots’, do not necessarily fuel the epidemic in the wider population, say researchers. Hotspots are often targeted for intense HIV control interventions, including treatment and prevention, to maximise their effect and reach the…

Integral molecular announces preclinical P2X7 antibody assets for autoimmune disorders
PHILADELPHIA – Integral Molecular , the leader in discovering antibodies against multipass membrane proteins, announces lead monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against P2X7, a structurally complex ion channel that is the target for autoimmune disorders including atopic dermatitis and glomerulonephritis. The panel…
Acidic environment could boost power of harmful pathogens
LAWRENCE — When food we’ve swallowed reaches our stomachs, it finds an acidic environment. The low pH in the stomach helps to begin digestion — and has been thought to kill the bacteria that hides in food that otherwise could…
Less severe cases of diarrheal illness can still lead to child mortality, research shows
Landmark GEMS research could help set path to reduce child mortality linked to diarrheal illness

New Phytopathology journal focus issue emphasizes virological advances
Viruses cause some of the most important plant diseases worldwide with an estimated $60 billion in annual yield losses to agricultural crops. Since the first report of tobacco mosaic virus in the late 19th century, discovery of new plant viruses…
Hundreds of novel viruses discovered in insects
Joint press release by Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin and the German Center for Infection Research (DZIF)
New MPMI focus issue seeks to improve management of virus-induced disease in crops
Viruses subvert or remodel host cells from the inside, relying on the host cellular machinery for fundamental aspects of replication and dispersal. Because viruses are so intimately associated with all aspects of the functioning of the host cell, study of…

The Lancet Infectious Diseases: Scientists identify and characterise eight more deaths from Borna disease virus and suggest more cases could be identified
A virus that jumps from shrews to humans could have been causing encephalitis unnoticed for decades in regions where the host shrew lives in the wild
Barring nonmedical exemptions increases vaccination rates, study finds
2016 California law helped restore ‘herd immunity,’ which prevents outbreaks, researchers say
Immune mystery solved in mice points to better protection from rotavirus in humans
Researchers at the University of Toronto have discovered how a brief disruption to a molecular pathway in the guts of mice before they are born can compromise adult immunity to a common and often deadly intestinal virus. The researchers found…

Newly discovered protein gives signal for virus infection
Viruses have been part of animals and humans for eons. When viruses invade a cell, they can infiltrate the nucleus with their genome and become part of the genome of the infected organism. Viruses transfer their genes between various organisms,…

Free tool simplifies cancer research
Every cell contains a vast number of proteins, each of which has a specific function, for example as a receptor for another molecule or an enzyme that catalyses chemical reactions. Disorders of such mechanisms can seriously affect a cell and…
Climate change could make RSV respiratory infection outbreaks less severe, more common
One of the first studies to examine the effect of climate change on diseases such as influenza that are transmitted directly from person to person has found that higher temperatures and increased rainfall could make outbreaks less severe but more…
Cold infections may be less frequent in people with the flu
People were less likely to catch either influenza or a common cold-causing rhinovirus if they were already infected with the other virus, a new study by scientists from the Medical Research Council-University of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research has found.…

SMART and NTU researchers design polymer that can kill drug-resistant bacteria
New polymer may pave the way for developing drugs to which bacteria are significantly less resistant, a breakthrough that could save hundreds of thousands of lives each year
Study pinpoints new drug targets to treat Nipah virus
Nipah virus, which is transmitted to humans from bats and pigs, has a high mortality rate and there are no licensed drugs against it. Now, researchers have used information on the structure of the Nipah virus to identified 150 possible…
