Invited commentary raises questions about pediatric transmission. New research suggests that children can shed SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, even if they never develop…
COVID-19 proliferates through a receptor present in most of the human body; but if the receptor is so pervasive, why does the virus seem to…
Several new papers in Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, published by Oxford University Press, suggest Sofosbuvir/daclatasvir are successful treatments for COVID-19. Three articles all researched the…
Few people who have undergone nasopharyngeal swabs for coronavirus testing would describe it as a pleasant experience. The procedure involves sticking a long swab up…
Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) ineffective as a preventive antiviral against COVID-19. Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have added to the growing body of understanding about how…
Lab-made virus is safer to work with, can aid efforts to find drugs, vaccines. Airborne and potentially deadly, the virus that causes COVID-19 can only…
Scientists report a detailed model of aerosol transport through air, considering several environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity and ambient flow. The novel coronavirus that…
A group of researchers have demonstrated that, from seven methods commonly used to test for viruses in untreated wastewater, an adsorption-extraction technique can most efficiently…
Influenza viruses can spread through the air on dust, fibers, and other microscopic particles, according to new research from the University of California, Davis and…
Exactly how viruses replicate is a complex puzzle with many missing pieces. And in the age of the pandemic, solving it has become a matter…
An immunomodulatory drug called fingolimod, which is approved for the treatment of multiple sclerosis, blocks human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and transmission in human immune…
Results from cell culture experiments show that commercially available preparations have an effect on Sars-Cov-2 viruses. Sars-Cov-2 viruses can be inactivated using certain commercially available…
University of Chicago study could guide social distancing, PPE guidelines. The CDC updated its guidance for avoiding COVID-19, saying that infection from touching surfaces is…
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread, scientists and health care providers are seeking ways to keep the coronavirus from infecting tissues once they’re exposed….
Study unveils novel mechanism that allows viruses to produce unexpected proteins. Like a scene out of “Invasion of the Body Snatchers,” a virus infects a…
Study shows that peptide nanofibers induce immune response in lungs and lymph nodes without requiring adjuvants for efficacy, indicating promise for new vaccine development. The…
