A new study by researchers at Bar-Ilan University has uncovered that certain ocean viruses—specifically RNA viruses—may disrupt how carbon and nutrients are recycled in the ocean, potentially altering ...

The positive-stranded genomic RNA (gRNA) serves as a template for translating viral proteins and generating negative-stranded replication intermediates.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), SARS-CoV2, influenza virus, poliovirus, and measles -- all single-stranded RNA viruses -- are some examples of highly contagious diseases transmitted by ...

Human norovirus, a positive-strand RNA virus that is the leading cause of viral gastroenteritis accounting for an estimated 685 million cases and approximately 212,000 deaths globally per year, has no ...

Dengue virus is a plus strand RNA virus that replicates its genome by a viral-encoded RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. Dr. Gamarnik and colleagues identified a structure at the 5' end of the RNA ...

Positive-strand RNA viruses (ssRNA+ viruses) are a group of viruses which includes many disease-causing viruses such as dengue virus, Zika virus, yellow fever virus, Japanese encephalitis virus ...

He told UVA Today how the virus works, what to expect if you fall ill, how to take care of yourself and the best way to avoid getting sick. Q. What is it? A. Norovirus is an RNA virus. It’s a ...

Rhinoviruses Rhinoviruses are the most common cause of the common cold, according to the CDC. These single-stranded RNA viruses belong to the Picornaviridae family and have three types: A, B, and C.

In contrast, PheoA’s antiviral effects were nonexistent with positive-strand RNA viruses such as VSV. This indicates that PheoA likely acts by modulating the viral membrane’s lipidic composition.

(+) RNA viruses are skilled masters of manipulating cellular proteins to complete essential steps of virus infection: (1) translation and replication of viral (+)RNA; (2) virus movement to adjacent ...
