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 ...
(+) 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 ...
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 ...
This negative-stranded RNA is, in turn, a template for synthesizing additional positive-stranded RNA and shorter sub-genomic RNAs (sgRNAs).
Wisconsin health officials have confirmed the state's first human case of West Nile virus (WNV) in Barron County for 2025. Mosquitoes in Milwaukee and Lafayette counties have also tested positive.
Recombination allows viruses to adapt to selective pressures and avoid accumulating deleterious mutations, which could lead to extinction. Positive-sense (+) single-stranded (ss) RNA viruses ...
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 ...
