Viruses of the family Flaviviridae, including Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), dengue virus (DENV), Zika virus (ZIKV), West Nile virus (WNV), and tick-borne encephalitis virus, are significant ...

Remember the 2016 Olympics in Brazil? It was the year Brazil defeated Germany in the final game of the men's football (aka soccer) tournament, but it was also the year when Zika virus made its entry ...

In a recent article published in the journal Viruses, researchers study the challenges impeding the development of vaccines against flaviviruses, which are single-stranded ribonucleic acid (ssRNA) ...

A team of Yale School of Medicine infectious diseases researchers recently conducted an in-depth review of the literature on how one genus of viruses, known as flaviviruses, manipulates mitochondria ...

The genus Flavivirus includes major pathogens such as dengue, yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis, West Nile and tick-borne encephalitis viruses. Molecular amplification assays for the diagnosis of ...

UT Southwestern researchers today report the first use of CRISPR genome-wide screening to identify a gene that helps cells resist flavivirus infection. That nasty class of pathogens includes West Nile ...

Researchers have identified IPO7 as a carrier of flavivirus core protein into host cell nucleus, paving the way for a new therapeutic approach to a range of diseases. Identifying the molecular ...

Treatment of flavivirus encephalitis currently consists of managing the complications of infection and, with good nursing care and physical therapy, avoiding bedsores and contractures. Even with ...

Viruses of the family Flaviviridae, including Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), Dengue virus (DENV), Zika virus (ZIKV), West Nile virus (WNV), and Tick-borne encephalitis virus, are significant ...

A study led by Australian researchers at the University of Queensland (UQ) has shown that a newly developed antibody targets the flavivirus nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) and was shown to reduce ...
