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

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

Marine viruses were found from the surface down to 4,000m deep and from the North to the South Pole. Though most are harmless to humans, they can infect marine life, including whales and crustaceans.

Marine viruses may be key players in the death of massive algal blooms that emerge in the ocean, a study shows. Amid cuts to federal funding, US universities tighten budgets, forcing PhD students and ...

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

Scientists might soon be able to forecast when the see is gonna turn red - and don’t worry, it has nothing to do with the ...

Indeed, the world’s oceans are teeming with viruses. In 2013, Joshua Weitz of the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta and the University of Tennessee’s Steven Wilhelm estimated that “a liter of ...

The detection of bird flu in a sheep is another sign that the H5N1 virus is adapting to hop to new hosts ...

After researchers began to notice a deadly virus appear among marine animals in both Europe and Alaska, they established a connection between the two areas: Arctic sea ice. According to The ...

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.
