According to an article published in the journal PLOS Pathogens, severe COVID-19 patients can be divided into two distinct groups: those with a high viral load and relatively little inflammation; and ...

Virology researchers have found that a specific protein modification to the immune protein MDA5 is key to how our bodies detect and respond to viruses and viral replication. The publication explains ...

Researchers addressed the need for long-term expression of CCR5-specific antibodies to establish protection from HIV using ...

Chinese scientists uncover how the Nipah virus hijacks a host protein (NSUN2) to boost its replication through a dual mechanism, simultaneously stabilizing viral RNA and modifying a key viral protein, ...

BK polyomavirus, or BKPyV, is a major cause of kidney transplant failure. There are no effective drugs to treat BKPyV. Research reveals new aspects of BKPyV replication, offering possible drug targets ...

Patients with low-level viremia on sensitive assays have an increased risk for virologic failure, but the optimal management of such patients remains unclear. One goal of antiretroviral therapy (ART) ...

Hepatitis B viral load is the amount of hepatitis B virus (HBV) found in a person’s bloodstream. Hepatitis B is a viral infection that can pass from person to person through bodily fluids. It ...

New findings reveal the presence of replication-competent Oropouche virus in semen, posing fresh questions about sexual transmission risks and public health safety. Research Letter: ...

The decrease in CD4 cells during HIV infection seems to be driven by immune activation, which does not always correlate with viral load. Experienced clinicians are all too familiar with the ...
