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 ...

This story is part of a larger series on viroids and virusoids, small infectious RNAs. It is also the fourth installment in a series on hepatitis D virus, a virusoid-like pathogen that causes serious ...

Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is a viral infection usually seen in children under 5 years old, although adults can catch it, too. Outbreaks have been identified across the country since late ...

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 ...

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 ...

The technology, called the Viral-Engineered RNA-based Activation System (VERAS), hijacks the virus's own replication ...

New RNA-based active agents reliably protect plants against the Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), the most common virus in agriculture and horticulture. They were developed by researchers at the Martin ...

Filoviruses are negative-sense and single-stranded ribonucleic acid (RNA) viruses. The most well-known human-infecting filoviruses are marburgviruses and ebolaviruses. Infection can result in ...
