Researchers updated the global catalogue of human-infective RNA viruses to 239 ICTV-recognised species, incorporating ...

NiV is a negative‑sense, single‑stranded RNA virus carrying a large genome of approximately 18.2 kb that encodes six structural proteins. The virions, which are virus particles, have multiple shapes ...

For the first time, scientists have spotted rogue bits of RNA colonizing the bacteria in our gut. These “obelisks,” as the researchers have dubbed them, may represent a whole new class of infectious ...

Viruses in water pose major public health threats, yet their structural diversity makes them unequally susceptibility to disinfection. This study systematically explored how reactive oxygen species ...

Biological entities called obelisks have been hiding – in large numbers – inside the human mouth and gut. These microscopic entities, which were recently discovered by a team at Stanford University, ...
