Study reveals how viruses invade cells by exploiting host proteins, with findings that may help in pre-pandemic preparedness.

Humans pass on more viruses to domestic and wild animals than they catch from them, a new study suggests. University College London (UCL) researchers analysed all publicly available viral genome ...

Scientists investigating animal viruses with potential to infect humans have identified a critical protein that could enable spillover of a family of organisms called arteriviruses. In a new study, ...

That could hint at which animal it first came from. Scientists will likely look for mutations in the virus that could help it ...

Farm Forward Executive Director Andrew deCoriolis shares insight into how bird flu reaches humans and companion animals.

This is likely to be more of a problem in future as climate change and globalisation alter the way animals and humans interact. In the past 50 years, a host of infectious diseases have spread ...

Previously, the viral variant was known to transmit predominantly from animals to humans in Central Africa. “We know that ...

The third-largest outbreak in history of the deadly Marburg virus was sparked by a single jump of the pathogen from an animal to humans, preliminary genomic evidence shows. The outbreak began last ...

Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) impacts Colorado deer, with half the herds infected. This prion disease has no cure, and its spread raises concerns for wildlife, agriculture, and hunters.

Stories have surfaced of animals such as polar bears fighting off new diseases, and sometimes losing that fight.

Instead of looking in the soil, the team searches directly in the bacteria that colonize humans and animals and play a role in the development of diseases. This approach is also a central ...
