Cryo-EM reveals the first detailed structure of the Bornavirus nucleoprotein–RNA complex, uncovering unique RNA binding and assembly mechanisms.

Cases of Borna disease virus 1 (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 ...

A collaborative research team led by Kazuyoshi Murata determined the capsid structure of the giant Melbournevirus at 4.4 Å resolution using cryo-electron microscopy. By applying a block-based ...

Nipah virus is a zoonotic virus harbored by fruit bats. It can be transmitted to pigs and humans, infect people through contaminated food, and can travel directly from person to person via droplets.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue University researchers Michael Rossmann and Richard Kuhn have been at the forefront of discovery with the help of a technology that recently led to a Nobel Prize in ...

Learn what the Nipah virus is, how it spreads, and why it has one of the highest fatality rates among infectious diseases.

RNA viruses are renowned for their elegant structure and finely tuned self‐assembly processes, which are critical both for viral life cycles and for potential applications in nanotechnology and ...

Scientists at Harvard Medical School and Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine have mapped a critical component of the Nipah virus, a highly lethal bat-borne pathogen that has ...

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — As summer kicks into full gear and people are spending more time outside, there’s one thing on many people’s minds — ticks. Tick season is starting earlier and lasting longer, ...
