In a new study, terrestrial bacteria-infecting viruses were still able to infect their E. coli hosts in near-weightless ...

Viruses that infect bacteria can still do their job in microgravity, but space changes the rules of the fight.

The idea that a single-celled bacterium can defend itself against viruses in a similar way as the 1.8-trillion-cell human immune system is still “mind-blowing” for molecular biologist Joshua Modell of ...

Bacteria and viruses are often lumped together as germs, and they share many characteristics. They’re invisible to the human eye. They’re everywhere. And both can make us sick, even kill us. That last ...

University of Toronto researchers have uncovered how bacterial viruses protect their progeny in order to maximize their reach. The phenomenon, described in a study published in Nature, relies on viral ...

The immune system’s first encounter with a virus or vaccine establishes a “starting template” that shapes its response to new ...

In 2026, Oropouche outbreaks will likely continue to affect travelers in the Americas. The biting midge that carries ...
