The Zika outbreak that started in Brazil in 2015 continues on five continents, causing neurological disease and birth defects.
The latest research dismisses the idea that viruses form a fourth type of life.
We can prevent congenital deafness and intellectual disability due to cytomegalovirus by simple hygiene measures. So, why don’t pregnant women know about this?
Viral hepatitis sheds light on key challenges faced by health system in Africa and how social and culture factors can help in prevention.
We have an awful lot in common with the viruses that infect us.
Antibiotics are wrongly being prescribed for infections where they won’t work and cutting this down could help combat resistance. But change isn’t as easy as just providing the means.
New research shows viruses can effectively turn bacteria into animal-like cells.
Flu virus mutates so quickly that one year’s vaccine won’t work on the next year’s common strains. But a new way to create vaccines, called ‘rational design,’ might pave the way for more lasting solutions.
Long viewed simply as ‘germs,’ the hidden half of nature turns out to be crucial to the health of people and plants.
Can some people’s immune systems defeat Ebola virus before it has a chance to cause disease?
The World Health Organisation no longer sees Zika as a health emergency. But what does this downgrade mean for the health of mothers and babies?
From November 1, the shingles (herpes zoster) vaccine will be available for free to people aged 70 to 79 years. So how and why do you get shingles, and who should be vaccinated?
The answer – fewer than are in a banana – has implications for the study of human health and raises questions about what generates complexity anyway.
Conjunctivitis is a common condition that often occurs in outbreaks – but what exactly is it?
Peter Doherty’s Nobel Prize-winning insights proved crucial for understanding how viral infections are controlled.
New research shows common local mosquitoes aren’t able to spread Zika. This means Australia is unlikely to see a major outbreak of the disease. But a risk remains in northern Queensland.
A virologist gives the low-down on chikungunya.
But what are the risks?
Stay away from viruses in the early morning – and in winter.
