Norovirus is the leading cause of gastroenteritis and is responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths every year. However, research progress into antiviral treatments and vaccines has been hindered ...

A broad-spectrum antiviral drug candidate, 2-thiouridine, that targets positive-strand RNA viruses has been identified and characterized. Positive-strand RNA viruses (ssRNA+ viruses) are a group of ...

This study is reported by Xueping Zhou and Fangfangli’s group from the Institute of Plant Protection, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (IPP, CAAS), Beijing. Like other positive-sense ...

The West Nile virus threat continues to increase in San Diego County, with routine monitoring picking up the presence of the pathogen in San Diego's City Heights and Skyline neighborhoods. The latest ...

Human norovirus, a positive-strand RNA virus that is the leading cause of viral gastroenteritis accounting for an estimated 685 million cases and approximately 212,000 deaths globally per year, has no ...

Combining bioinformatics and experimetal approaches, researchers have discovered replication hubs for human norovirus, the leading cause of viral gastroenteritis accounting for an estimated 685 ...
