Zika is a mosquito-borne, sexually transmissible virus that is now known to cause a variety of birth defects. The ongoing epidemic of Zika virus infection
Most viral infections trigger B cells to produce neutralizing antibodies, but for a handful of viruses that cause chronic infections, B cells are for some
The hepatitis E virus is best known as a waterborne pathogen that occasionally causes big outbreaks in Asia and Africa. But more recently, scientists have

As we age, our immune systems change; in many ways not for the better. For instance, the elderly account for 90% of influenza deaths annually.
The ongoing Zika virus epidemic is of grave concern because of its apparent links to congenital microcephaly and Guillain-Barré syndrome. Sirohi et al. present a
As concerns over the spread of Zika virus through the Americas rise, and evidence showing that the virus can infect developing neurons accumulates, a team led
Economic booms and improved transportation may come with a costly downside: increased transmission of viral diseases. Adda studied 25 years of weekly disease surveillance reports
From blood samples of survivors of a 2007 Ebola outbreak in Uganda, researchers have isolated antibodies that are protective and can neutralize two other species
Since it was discovered in 2012, the camel-borne virus causing Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) has sickened more than 1200 people in the Middle East
Researchers in Australia added an adjuvant to an inactivated influenza A vaccine and successfully boosted the shot’s effectiveness and cross-protective capabilities, according to a study
A few drops of blood are all that’s needed to test for Ebola using a newly approved paper-based diagnostic test. Approved by the World Health
The vicious cycle of Ebola infection does not end with the death of a victim. According to researchers with the National Institutes of Health (NIH),
