Researchers who found novel coronaviruses in UK bats say genetic surveys of the viruses should be regularly conducted, even if none of those viruses can infect humans yet. Working with a network of bat conservationists, a research team led by Imperial College London and University College London researchers screened faecal samples from UK bats for […]

Computer simulations showing how patients and staff move around inside hospitals are helping civil engineers make modifications to help control the transmission of COVID-19. Similar visualisations could also help schools, offices and care homes lower the risk of infection spread, not just from COVID-19, but from other contagions like Ebola and future viruses. Brunel University […]
