Supported by Special Foundation of President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Ebola virus fast test paper and the Ebola virus antibody ELISA kit developed by the research groups led by Prof. Zhengli Shi and Prof. Bin Yan in Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases of Wuhan Institute of Virology, CAS, have been recently verified in a P4 Laboratory in Lyon of France.
The research group, led by Chinese researcher Bo Zhang from Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases (CEID) in WIV, CAS, has made progress in identifying the pattern of molecular evolution for Zaire ebolavirus (ZEBOV) in the 2014 outbreak in West Africa. The findings have been published on Infection Genetics and Evolution, an influential international journal on infectious diseases. To investiga...
Recently, the research group led by Prof. Rongge Yang, as the only Chinese team, has made important progress in research on transmitted HIV-1 Drug Resistance with other international experts on HIV/AIDS. The research paper, Geographic and Temporal Trends in the Molecular Epidemiology and Genetic Mechanisms of Transmitted HIV-1 Drug Resistance: An Individual-patient-and sequence-level meta-analy...
In the past two years, the collaborative research teams led by Prof. Peng Gong and Prof. Bo Zhang have published three papers focusing on the regulation between the methyltranferase and polymerase modules of flavivirus NS5. Since the report of the first flavivirus NS5 methyltransferase crystal structure (EMBO J 2002), scientists have made tremendous efforts in getting a full-length structure al...
