Recent scientific work led by Dr. Peter Daszak and researchers at Nature.Health.Global (NHG) has drawn urgent attention to the coronavirus threat in Asia, especially a virus known as swine acute ...

New technologies like wastewater surveillance have enabled public health officials to monitor the spread of a few infectious diseases in a community by identifying known pathogens by their DNA. While ...

UCSF researchers designed new drug candidates that potently block MPro, a viral enzyme that's crucial for SARS-CoV-2 replication. One of these drug candidates, AVI-4516, is shown (center) bound to the ...

During 2024, the number of pandemic-prone and epidemic-prone disease outbreaks worldwide was estimated at 301. The data highlight a shift in disease outbreak patterns, with a decline in the number of ...

Scientists have developed an innovative antibody platform aimed at tackling one of the greatest challenges in treating rapidly evolving viruses like SARS-CoV-2: their ability to mutate and evade ...

These images show how plants with both pepy-1 and Pepy-2 genes can tolerate challenging viral infections much better than plants with only one or none of these resistance genes. Even with today’s ...

How Our Cities Are Inviting Wildlife Viruses In As suburbs expand into forests, grasslands, and wetlands, the boundary between human and wildlife spaces becomes less distinct. This shift not only ...

Flexible plastic films stamped with dense nanopillar arrays mechanically rupture viral particles, reducing infectivity by 94% ...
