History Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is widespread, with approximately 90% of adults exhibiting serological evidence of prior exposure. While many infections are asymptomatic, when symptoms do occur, they typically manifest after an incubation period of 4 to 6 weeks. Common symptoms include fat...
Zika can be spread through sex, usually after a person travels to an area where Zika has broken out and contracted the virus. Infected women and men can both pass the virus to sex partners -- even if they haven’t shown symptoms of infection, according to the CDC. In addition, infected...
Reports that TSV can replicate in some mammalian cell lines have never been substantiated and may simply be attributable to the production of a cytopathic effect in the absence of virus replication.

Causes of swollen lymph nodes (glands) may include infection (viral, bacterial, fungal, parasites). Symptoms of swollen lymph nodes vary greatly, but may include fever, night sweats, toothache, sore throat, or weight loss. Causes of swollen lymph nodes also vary, but may include cancer, the...
What are the signs and symptoms of a BKV infection?Most people do not have any signs or symptoms of a BKV infection. The virus normally remains inactive in your body when your immune system is strong. If your immune system becomes weak, the virus may become active and you may have any ...
This platform comprises in vitro binding tests and infection studies with a pseudotyped virus expressing the S protein as well as a clinically isolated SARS-CoV-2 strain. Doxycycline effectively inhibited the transduction of the pseudotyped virus but did not affect the entry and replication of SARS-...
In humans, a preliminarily assessment of the protective value of an MVA vector expressing NP and M1 did not permit a clear conclusion. In the control group 5 out of 10 patients got influenza-like symptoms following challenge infection whereas in the vaccinated group it was 2 out of 10 ...
Influenza virus infection is among the most detrimental threats to the health of humans and some animals, infecting millions of people annually all around the world and in many thousands of cases giving rise to pneumonia and death. All those health crises happen despite previous and recent developm...
The cell-first hypothesis postulates that cells existed on the planet before viruses and viruses “escaped” from them gaining ability to “move” to cells close to their original “home,” i.e., bacterial viruses are escapees from bacterial cells, archaeal viruses are escapees of archaeal ...
Diagnosis / detection of virus and viroid diseases at the early stage of infection helps in further prevention of spread of the disease and also helps in routine screening. The use of one or more of the tests will help to detect infections before they b
