Costly virus hunts are ineffective in protecting public health and have unfairly harmed the historically excellent safety record of bats as beneficial neighbors.

Menglà virus, detected in bats in China, infects cells through the same host receptor targeted by the deadly pathogens.

It’s the first time the deadly pathogen has been found in West Africa.

The bat version of the STING protein helps dampen the mammals' immune response to infection, researchers have found.

A step-by-step study of diseases that jump species gives subtle clues about future epidemics.

The virologist turned NASA astronaut pioneered DNA sequencing in space and conducted experiments in microgravity.

Deep sequencing of viral mRNAs reveals that Ebola and Marburg viruses produce multiple versions of some transcripts.

Monkeys infected with lethal doses of Marburg virus were rescued by an experimental siRNA-based therapeutic, a study shows.
