Influenza A virus particles strategically modify their shape becoming either spheres or larger filaments to enhance their ability to infect cells based on environmental conditions, according to a new ...

A recent study published in Nature Microbiology reveals that the virus can switch between spherical and filamentous shapes, significantly extending its infectious period. This means that the virus ...

But since many common and devastating viruses, such as influenza A, Zika, and coronaviruses, are larger than 100 nm in diameter and come in several shapes, from peanut-shaped to filamentous, Dietz ...

RSV M protein interacts with host cell membranes, holding together the virus's filamentous structure and coordinating viral components and other proteins—including RSV F proteins. RSV F proteins ...

called Alternanthera mosaic virus (AltMV) and AltMV RNA, led to the formation of filamentous AltMV virus-like particles that were recognized by commercially available rotavirus antibodies.
