In one of the first studies of its kind, researchers used viral metagenomics to identify several viruses — including one new ...

Jean Lim and her team partnered with researchers from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s (FWC) Fish and ...

Researchers at the University of South Florida are among the first to identify viruses associated with red tide, which could ...

There are an estimated 10 31 viruses on Earth. That is to say: there may be a hundred million times more viruses on Earth than there are stars in the universe. The majority of these viruses infect ...

Researchers hope the study can eventually find a way to predict when blooms will occur, and how to reduce their effects on ...

"Historically, scientists have focused on viruses in the ocean for their role in lysing (breaking open) cells. Our work shows that intact virus-infected cells are biochemically and physiologically ...

“When we examined the genes of the viruses in each of those communities, we found evidence of genetic adaptation to the different zones of the ocean,” said researcher Ann Gregory, now of KU ...

A University of South Florida study linked viruses and red tide, and researchers now wonder if they can wield them to keep red tide at bay.

A new study led by researchers at the University of South Florida shines light on the environmental drivers of red tide ...

View Full Profile. Learn about our Editorial Policies. “We doubled the number of known viral genera, which introduces hundreds of new virus genera, identified 38 viruses which are widespread and ...

Ocean circulation models operated by researchers at CMS can help forecast the movement of red tide blooms. A better understanding of viruses that influence red tide could improve long-term ...
