Past research has suggested that more pollinator biodiversity means less virus among bees. But researchers wondered if it was that simple and what mechanism may be behind it. Was habitat...

Bats have proteins in their cells that are more pressured by coronaviruses than the same proteins in other mammals, researchers found. That information may help scientists understand more about potential...

A new database provides researchers a central place to see what species have been infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 in humans. This information can be useful for scientists...

A fatal virus is killing freshwater turtles in Florida. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission biologists say they have been studying the turtle fraservirus 1 (TFV1), formerly known as turtle...

Researchers have begun to sequence the genes of rabies viruses detected in New England bats using a technique they say can provide important information about how rabies spreads and t...

Researchers have created a computer model to help predict which mammal species are most likely to become infected with SARS-CoV-2. The virus, which causes COVID-19 in humans, can affect a...

Wood frog tadpoles have more intense ranavirus infections in ponds that have high salinity as a result of being close to roads treated with salt for de-icing. Emily Hall, a...

Researchers recently discovered a virus infecting bald eagles across the country. The virus is a member of the hepacivirus genus, the same genus of viruses that cause hepatitis C in...

West Nile virus was first detected in the United States in 1999, and it quickly spread from New York across the continent, into Canada and Mexico and then to Central...

Scientists who want to find out which frog populations are more likely to contract the deadly ranavirus, which affects amphibians and reptiles globally, recently turned to frogs’ skin. Studying European...
