TEHRAN (ANA)- When viruses pay us a visit, they sometimes leave parts of themselves behind and silently tucked away in our genomes, some of these bits of foreign DNA can get passed down through the generations.
TEHRAN (ANA)- Researchers at Kyushu University have found that blowflies, which are highly attracted to decaying flesh and feces, are carriers of the bird flu virus in southern Japan.
TEHRAN (ANA)- Understanding mosquito genetics for mosquito-borne diseases such as Zika and dengue can lead to better control methods, reducing their spread around the world.
TEHRAN (ANA)- Scientists have discovered a bacterial immune system that modifies the tails of phages, and is "somehow able to stop the virus from spreading to other cells," the Weizmann Institute of Science (WIS) said in a statement.
TEHRAN (ANA)- Iranian scientists are making strenuous efforts to study different methods to find an effective vaccine for the dengue fever, a viral infection that spreads from mosquitoes to people.
TEHRAN (ANA)- Researchers at UVA Health have uncovered a potential explanation for some of the most puzzling aspects of COVID-19 and long COVID and the surprising insights may pave the way for novel treatments targeting the challenging acute impacts of COVID-19, long COVID, and potentially other viruses.
TEHRAN (ANA)- A new study by Columbia researchers now shows that far-UVC light inactivated nearly all (>99%) of an airborne virus in an occupied work environment, showing that the technology can work as well in a real-life scenario as in the laboratory.
TEHRAN (ANA)- Research teams led by Dirk Görlich at the Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Science and Thomas Schwartz at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have discovered that the HIV virus capsid has evolved into a molecular transporter.
TEHRAN (ANA)- Recent research by the NYU Grossman School of Medicine demonstrates that blocking the attachment of virus particles to cell surface molecules in infant mice can significantly reduce the transmission of influenza A.
