Microbial stowaways: Are ships spreading disease?
Ships are inadvertently carrying trillions of stowaways in the water held in their ballast tanks. When the water is pumped out, invasive species could be released into new environments. Disease-causing microbes could also be released, posing a risk to public health, according to an article in the May issue of Microbiology Today. view more (2008-05-29)
Signal molecule holds possible key to tumour growth
Immunity to a cancer in chickens could shed light on ways to control certain human cancers according to scientists from the Institute for Animal Health (IAH). Their work on Marek's disease (MD) in chickens has identified the first natural model for specific Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, and is published this week in PNAS (06-10 September... view more...

Contagious equine flu virus infecting dogs across U.S. is isolated by Cornell researchers
A Cornell University virologist has isolated a highly contagious equine flu virus that is spreading a sometimes-fatal respiratory flu among dogs, and is responsible for a major dog-flu outbreak in New York state. view more (2005-09-29)
Scientists investigate impact of climate change on India's monsoon season
Scientists at the University of Liverpool are investigating the anticipated effects of climate change on India's monsoon season and the impact that alterations in India's water cycle will have on the country's people, agriculture and wildlife. view more (2007-03-09)
Origen publishes in Nature a robust and versatile method for creating transgenic chickens
Origen Therapeutics announced today that it has succeeded in developing a robust and versatile technology for genetically modifying chickens that, for the first time, puts avian transgenics on a par with transgenic mice. view more (2006-06-08)
New strategies against bird flu
The Spanish flu outbreak of 1918 killed between 30 and 50 million people. In the infected patients, the ultimate cause of death was acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). view more (2008-04-18)
Microbiology experts meet Scottish Parliamentarians
Microbiology experts will be gathering today, 04 March 2004, at the Hub in Edinburgh to tell MSPs about the many varied ways in which microbes are involved in the everyday issues requiring Government decisions. Health, environment and the economy occupy much of the work of the Scottish Parliament. These topics are often dominated by microbiology.... view more... (2004-03-03)
What are the predominant bacilli in the intestines ducklings infected with S. enteritidis?
The enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus-PCR (ERIC-PCR) method has been used to fingerprint the kinetics of microbial community of fecal samples of ducklings orally infected with S. enteritidis. view more (2008-03-13)
Bird-flu vaccine works at high doses; Focus turns to ways to stretch vaccine supply
An experimental vaccine against bird flu is safe and spurs the immune response considered necessary to protect against the deadly illness, at a dose several times larger than the traditional flu shot and in slightly more than half of people who received the largest dose. view more (2006-03-30)
Comparison of immune response to 1918 and H5N1 influeza viruses shows similarities
A comparison of the 1918 Spanish influenza and the H5N1 avian influenza viruses suggests that while the two viruses appear to trigger a similar abnormal immune response in animal models, there are distinct differences. view more (2007-03-01)
H5N1 threat puts human flu back in spotlight
The emergence of the avian influenza virus H5N1 that is currently devastating chicken flocks in many countries and threatening to unleash a worldwide epidemic among humans has triggered a renewed interest among scientists in studying influenza A viruses. view more (2006-05-05)
Problem of emerging infectious diseases likely to worsen
Emerging infectious diseases pose a global threat to human and animal health, and the problem is likely to worsen, warns an expert in this week's BMJ. view more (2005-11-28)
Bacteria have their own immune system protecting against outside DNA
Bacteria like Salmonella have a complicated immune system that helps them recognize and isolate foreign DNA trying to invade their cell membrane. view more (2006-06-09)
Drugstore in the Dirt
French clay that kills several kinds of disease-causing bacteria is at the forefront of new research into age-old, nearly forgotten, but surprisingly potent cures. view more (2007-10-26)
Inexpensive test detects H5N1 infections quickly and accurately
Scientists from the University of Colorado at Boulder and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have developed an inexpensive "gene chip" test based on a single influenza virus gene that could allow scientists to quickly identify flu viruses, including avian influenza H5N1. view more (2006-11-14)
New cell culturing method pumps up the volume
In a breakthrough that will likely accelerate research aimed at cures for hearing loss, tinnitus, and balance problems, scientists have perfected a laboratory culturing technique that provides a reliable new source of cells critical to understanding certain inner-ear disorders. view more (2007-09-25)
New insights into a leading poultry disease and its risks to human health
Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University associate research scientist Melha Mellata, a member of professor Roy Curtiss' team, is leading a USDA funded project to develop a vaccine against a leading poultry disease called avian pathogenic E. coli (APEC). view more (2009-01-27)
Water testing device could save lives in developing countries
Young engineer Richard Brown has won a national award for an invention which could save lives in developing countries. Richard, 22, who graduated from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne earlier this year in Civil and Environmental Engineering, has created a simple device for testing whether water supplies contain dangerous levels of bacteria.... view more...

Pair of studies offer new clues to combat antibiotic resistance
In the continuing battle against antibiotic resistance, two new studies shed light on the complex defense mechanisms pathogenic bacteria use to evade antibiotic attack, an understanding of which could lead to new, more effective antibiotics to help save lives and combat the growing problem of antibiotic resistance. view more (2006-01-25)
Poultry production in the Netherlands has to change
Poultry production in the Netherlands has to change for a prosperous future. This is a mutual task of poultry producers, consumers, governmental and non-governmental organisations, and knowledge institutions. The outbreak of avian influenza in the beginning of 2003 in the centre of the Netherlands made the urgency of change quite clear. This is... view more... (2003-07-22)
