Virus Mutation

Washington state recently confirmed four new bird flu cases among farmworkers, bringing the national total to 31. The virus, spread widely among animals, has shown no signs of human-to-human transmission yet, according to health experts. Workers reportedly experienced mild symptoms. As flu season approaches, experts warn of potential viral genetic ...

The arrival of mpox vaccines in Africa, particularly the Jynneos vaccine from Bavarian Nordic, aims to combat a significant resurgence of the virus, especially in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The World Health Organization has reported approximately 6,000 confirmed cases across 15 African nations, with concerns about transmission dynamics, ...

A recent study has revealed that SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, might be using an unexpected method to infect the brain. Researchers found that mutations in the virus' spike protein allow it to enter brain cells through a "back door," a process that might explain the neurological symptoms observed in some COVID-19 pati...

Scientists studying the new mpox strain that has spread out of Democratic Republic of Congo say the virus is changing faster than expected and often in areas where experts lack the funding and equipment to properly track it.

SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID) is responsible for recurring waves of infection as it continues to evolve and mutate into new variants which keep it a step ahead of our immunity.

Despite being vaccinated, his compromised immune system couldn't fully fend off the virus, leading to severe complications.

A new study reveals a surprising fact: humans are actually spreading more viruses to animals than we receive from them. This is due to our large population size, global reach, and activities that stress wildlife.

The COVID-19 virus has mutated 223 times globally and its harmful effects have come down substantially over time, Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya said in Lok Sabha on Friday.

The researchers indicated that their findings imply that white-tailed deer may function as a "reservoir" for the coronavirus.

A new variant of the virus that causes Covid-19 has put countries on alert as scientists scramble to understand the contagiousness and immunity to defend against it, CNN reported on Sunday.

The World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are tracking a new, highly mutated lineage of the virus that causes COVID-19.

Pointing out that there has been no increase in hospital admissions and the death count due to Covid, he said the new mutation of the virus is more contagious but isn't causing serious disease.

Beijing faces a surge in severe COVID-19 cases over the next two weeks, a respiratory expert said, amid global concerns over possible mutations and knock-on effects for the world economy after the surprise ditching of China's tough virus policies.

The US is concerned China's runaway Covid-19 outbreak might spawn new mutations of the virus, as the world's most populous country continues to grapple with the impact of loosening "Covid Zero" protocols that had kept the pandemic at bay.

China will not relax its COVID-19 measures but will keep improving them according to the changing epidemic situation and mutation of the virus, a disease expert said.
