West Nile Virus reproduction secrets decoded at Georgia State Scientists at Georgia State University studying the West Nile Virus say they have found promising leads that may one day help stop the deadly virus.
Georgia State biologist Margo Brinton reports in the May 22 issue of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that her lab has confirmed key interactions between the virus and cell proteins that shed light on how the virus reproduces so prolifically in infected cells. Brinton said the findings will help biologists better understand both the virus and the cells it uses to reproduce. More...
