New imaging tools reveal how within an hour of infection, the virus begins to alter our chromosomes to kick-start its own replication.

Viruses carrying these mutations were no longer able to spread once they infected a cell. This was a bit of a surprise, given that they should still be able to latch on to the second motor protein.

The structure of the dengue virus also suggests it employs a cell entry pathway similar to another group of viruses known as togaviruses, Kuhn says. The Purdue team is now pursuing experiments to ...
