The SIRSVIDE model developed by Professor Jian Lu's research group provides a comprehensive framework for studying viral epidemiology and evolutionary dynamics. The simulation results reveal that ...

Understanding the mutation and evolution of viruses (such as SARS-CoV-2) is crucial for effective public health management and response. Traditional epidemiological models often assume that viral ...

The influenza (flu) virus is constantly undergoing a process of evolution and adaptation through acquiring new mutations. Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have added a new layer of ...

Junior Associate Professor Kazuo Takayama (Department of Cell Growth and Differentiation) and a collaborative team of researchers in Japan recently characterized SARS-CoV-2 collected from a persistent ...

A new paper in Molecular Biology and Evolution finds that HIV populations in people with higher viral loads also have higher rates of viral recombination. In effect, the more HIV in the blood, the ...

The study, published in the Biophysical Journal, was led by a team of researchers from the Science and Technology Facilities Council’s (STFC) Hartree Centre and IBM, at the Hartree National Centre for ...

The core breakthroughs of the new generation of RNA virus detection technologies focus primarily on two key objectives: first, enhancing biosensor mutation tolerance-specifically, developing sensors ...

Vaccinating birds against bird flu reduces the spread of the disease, but may have unintended consequences. This is the warning of a new paper in the journal Science Advances, which concluded that ...

The collaborative efforts of researchers at Harvard and Oxford have yielded an artificial intelligence tool known as EVEscape. This tool is comprised of two key components: a sequence model that ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Workers who are in frequent contact with potentially sick animals are at high risk of bird flu infection. Costfoto/NurPhoto via ...
