Two of the closest known relatives to SARS-CoV-2 — a pair of bat coronaviruses discovered by researchers in Laos — may transmit poorly in people despite being genetically similar to the ...

Research on the genome of the virus that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) has revealed an unusual molecular structure that looks like a promising target for antiviral drugs. A team of ...

RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- For centuries, coronaviruses have triggered health crises and economic challenges, with SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that spreads COVID-19, being a recent example. One small ...

The emergence of different variants of SARS-CoV-2 has produced a wide range of clinical profiles and symptoms in patients. For the first time, researchers at the Institut Pasteur and Université Paris ...

As we approach the five-year anniversary of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is worth reflecting not only on the paradigm-shifting impact of the initial outbreak, but also on how SARS-CoV-2 continues to ...

SARS-CoV-2 is a protean virus. It seems designed to reinfect a previously infected host, changing its outer coat as well as some of its properties. The virus is also adapting to a number of new ...

Shi Zhengli, a leading virologist, became known as "Bat Woman" for her work on coronaviruses. She has spent decades studying bat-borne diseases, tracing their origins, and analyzing their potential ...

British cancer doctor Prof Karol Sikora recently claimed that the current COVID-19 pandemic would “burn itself out”. His thinking is that if there are more infections than we realize, and that those ...

The coronavirus genome is 30,000 letters long, encoding more than two dozen different proteins that enable the virus to hijack our cells. Of these, spike gets all the glory and infamy; it is the ...

New Haven, Conn. — Two of the closest known relatives to SARS-CoV-2 — a pair of bat coronaviruses discovered by researchers in Laos — may transmit poorly in people despite being genetically similar to ...
