Researchers at the University of Queensland have produced new 3D images of the yellow fever virus with near-atomic resolution. These images revealed major structural differences between the vaccine and virulent strains of the virus. The findings help to better understand how the virus works and how the immune system responds to it. The results may contribute to the development of more effective yellow fever vaccines. The new knowledge could also be used to develop treatments for related mosquito-borne viruses. The study provides a detailed insight into the structure of the virus particle, which is important for further research. The results are based on advanced imaging techniques. The study does not provide statistics or specific numbers.
