Discover the latest news and breakthroughs related to the study of viruses. Virology is a branch of microbiology that focuses on the study of viruses, their structure, function, and evolution, as well as their interactions with their hosts. Viruses are tiny, infectious agents that can cause a wide range of diseases, from the common cold to more severe illnesses such as HIV and COVID-19. Virologists use a variety of techniques, including microscopy, genetic analysis, and computational modeling, to investigate the complex biology of viruses and develop new treatments and vaccines to combat viral diseases. On this page, you will find a collection of articles related to virology research and discoveries, including updates on current projects, new findings, and insights into the fascinating world of viruses.
