Waiting is the hardest part. Especially in the case of testing for water or food contamination, which can take days or even a week in some cases for the results, leaving the possibility that people ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Increasing numbers of Powassan virus cases have led to a greater need to monitor and track the disease. However, testing has been ...

The COVID-19 pandemic yielded important advances in testing for respiratory viruses, but it also exposed important unmet needs in screening to prevent the spread of infections in high-risk settings.

KAIST and international collaborators have created a CRISPR-based diagnostic that uses reaction speed patterns to identify multiple viruses and variants in a single test. The method, called kinetic ...

Researchers at the New England Regional Center of Vector-Borne Diseases at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have come up with a new, more accurate method for detecting in ticks the emerging ...

A new method that can rapidly determine whether a virus is infectious or non-infectious could revolutionize the response to future pandemics. Dr. Samuel Jones from Birmingham's School of Chemistry led ...

A new method that can rapidly determine whether a virus is infectious or non-infectious could revolutionize the response to future pandemics, researchers report. A new method that can rapidly ...

Oncolytic viruses (OVs) represent a novel class of cancer immunotherapy agents that preferentially infect and kill cancer cells and promote protective antitumor immunity. Furthermore, OVs can be used ...

Infections by hantaviruses are rare but dangerous, killing 30–40% of infected people. When cases occur, public health officials need rapid, detailed information about the virus to identify the strain ...

Researchers at UMass Amherst have developed a new, more accurate test method for detecting a life-threatening tick-borne virus that is increasing in prevalence in Massachusetts, according to the ...

Inherently vulnerable to viral contamination, biologics rely on animal- or human-derived starting materials and complex manufacturing processes. Albeit rare, viral contamination incidents are ...
