Cases of Borna disease virus 1, or BoDV-1, are extremely rare in humans, but in those who develop disease the outcome is severe, almost always resulting in fatal encephalitis or inflammation in the ...
It acts like a kind of molecular hinge or strap, anchoring RNA to one half of the particle and putting it slightly off balance to create a spring-loaded genome. When the virus enters its host's cells ...
A tiny tick crawls across your skin, potentially carrying a virus so lethal it kills up to four out of every ten people it infects. Yet that same tick shows no signs of illness whatsoever – it feeds, ...
