Viruses How do you catch many viruses? Through body fluids. Hepatitis and the HIV/AIDS are exchange during sexual contact or blood transfer. Both have long incubation periods- so it is a long time before a person knows they are sick. Hepatitis attacks white blood cells then your liver cells...
Researchers from Monash, in a joint effort with a team from Cardiff University in the United Kingdom (UK), demonstrated how HIV mutations can lead to key immune molecules, known as the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC), differently displaying fragments of the virus and how it can cause th...
The tale of the "cut hunter" is just a theory, but it's considered one of the most plausible scenarios for how a simian immunodeficiency virus jumped from chimps to humans and became HIV. Remarkably, we do know for certain where the crossover happened because scientists can track it. Like...
