The rapid identification of respiratory virus outbreaks is needed to enable rational and effective public health interventions. We developed new quantitative approaches for simultaneous ...

Scientists have identified dozens of human proteins that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, depends on to replicate ...

A study published in mBio details the vulnerability of coronaviruses to inhibitors of a small protein domain called Mac1, or the "macrodomain," found in all coronaviruses such as SARS-CoV-2 and ...

The days of tracking COVID-19 infections are coming to an end due to a series of decisions at the federal and state level. At the beginning of the pandemic, a number of tracking programs were created ...

WHO director Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says all hypotheses are on the table, as the organisation works to reinforce ...

It likely jumped from animals to humans, the experts said in their final report Friday. However, a critical component of the investigation was missing: Despite repeated requests, the group was not ...

WHO’s Tedros says ‘all hypotheses must remain on the table’ after critical information not provided to investigators.

The disease can cast a storm over the whole human body. Such has been the nature of past zoonotic coronaviruses, ones that hopped from animals to humans like SARS and MERS.

Four of these viruses usually cause a mild cold; one caused a major but short-lived epidemic in the early 2000s (the original SARS virus); another causes MERS, a dangerous but limited zoonotic ...

The virus, HKU5-CoV-2, does not enter human cells as readily as SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19, the scientists reported in the journal Cell.

A newly discovered bat coronavirus uses the same cell-surface protein to gain entry into human cells as the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19, raising the possibility that it could someday ...
