Reactions to last DTaP vaccine not prevented
A red splotch forms where most preschoolers get their fifth, and last, shot of the acellular diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTaP) vaccine, and it can last a few days. view more (2006-03-02)
How mosquitoes could teach us a trick in the fight against malaria
The means by which most deadly malaria parasites are detected and killed by the mosquitoes that carry them is revealed for the first time in research published today (5 March) in Science Express. The discovery could help researchers find a way to block transmission of the disease from mosquitoes to humans. view more (2009-03-06)
Taking the temperature of the no-fly zone
Flies, unlike humans, can't manipulate the temperature of their surroundings so they need to pick the best spot for flourishing. New Brandeis University research in this week's Nature reveals that they have internal thermosensors to help them. view more (2008-06-12)
Rickettsia felis, a cat-flea-borne pathogen, sheds light on Rickettsial evolution
VBI researchers in collaboration with scientists from the University of Maryland School of Medicine have created a new classification system for rickettsia bacteria that may assist researchers in the way they approach the development of diagnostics and vaccines for the virulent rickettsial pathogens. view more (2007-03-07)
Vi typhoid vaccine proves highly effective in young children
A new study has found that a currently available yet underused vaccine against typhoid fever is highly effective in young children and protects unvaccinated neighbors of vaccinees. view more (2009-07-23)

New lab mice pave way for novel studies of human infection
A new type of laboratory mouse developed at UT Southwestern Medical Center can fight certain infections the same way humans do, making the rodents very useful for novel studies of human-pathogen interaction and developing disease therapies. view more (2006-10-23)
New bacterium discovered -- related to cause of trench fever
A close cousin of the bacterium that debilitated thousands of World War I soldiers has been isolated at UCSF from a patient who had been on an international vacation. The woman, who has since recovered, suffered from symptoms similar to malaria or typhoid fever, two infections that can occur in returning travelers. view more (2007-06-07)
First population study of GM mosquitoes highlights difficulties facing malaria control technique
The first laboratory population study of genetically modified mosquitoes identifies issues that need to be faced in the task of turning mosquitoes from disease carriers into disease fighters. Scientists from Imperial College London report in Science today that populations including genetically modified mosquitoes quickly lose their test marker... view more... (2003-02-18)
Researchers discover key mechanism by which lethal viruses Ebola and Marburg cause disease
Researchers in the Greene Infectious Disease Laboratory at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Caribbean Primate Research Center have discovered a key mechanism by which the Filoviruses, Ebola and Marburg, cause disease. view more (2006-10-17)
Common blood test can help distinguish between mononucleosis and tonsillitis
Measuring a patient's ratio of white blood cell types may help physicians accurately distinguish between the similar conditions infectious mononucleosis and bacterial tonsillitis, potentially guiding treatment decisions. view more (2007-01-16)
Myeloid proteins reflect disease activity and treatment response in familial Mediterranean fever
Serum levels of the pro-inflammatory biomarkers myeloid-related protein (MRP) 8 and 14 are increased to a greater extent in patients with Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) during flare than in patients with Neonatal-Onset Multisystem Inflammatory Disease (NOMID) or patients with Muckle Wells Syndrome (MWS). view more (2009-06-12)
No evidence that MMR vaccine is associated with autism or bowel disease
There is no evidence that MMR or single measles vaccines are associated with autism or inflammatory bowel disease, researchers announced today. Their conclusion follows the most in-depth analysis of the scientific literature to date, and provides clear reassurance for parents and health professionals regarding the safety of MMR vaccination. Their... view more... (2002-06-11)
'GreeneChip' — New diagnostic tool that rapidly and accurately identifies multiple pathogens
Researchers in the Greene Infectious Disease Laboratory at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health and their colleagues in the WHO Global Laboratory Network have developed a new tool for pathogen surveillance and discovery-the GreeneChip System. view more (2006-12-06)
Antioxidants may protect against tick-borne illness
Researchers are investigating the role that antioxidants - alpha-lipoic acid and potentially others like green tea and vitamins C and E, for example - might play in preventing or treating the deadly rickettsia bacteria. view more (2006-08-10)
Acetaminophen safe to use after heart attack but doesn't protect the heart
Acetaminophen is safe to use as a pain reliever and fever reducer after a heart attack, but it does not protect the heart muscle, a new study using sheep and rabbits concluded. view more (2006-05-16)
New study may show how to forestall a fatal, virus-caused immune-system meltdown
When a virus infects a person, it triggers a series of biochemical reactions in immune-system cells that literally may have life or death consequences. view more (2007-02-15)
Blocked gene may provide new treatment for allergies
Allergic reactions like hay fever can recur over long periods since the allergenic mast cells survive and revive. A team of Uppsala scientists have now identified the mast cell's survival gene, and by blocking this gene, they can inhibit allergic reactions, opening new avenues for treatment. These findings have been published in Monday's issue... view more... (2001-12-05)
Guidelines on SARS should be refined
Haematological manifestations in patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome: retrospective analysis BMJ Volume 326, pp 1358-62 Current World Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines for diagnosing suspected SARS may not be sufficiently sensitive in assessing patients before admission to hospital, suggest researchers from Hong Kong in this week's... view more...

Organ-recipients' deaths prompt call for suppliers of pet rodents to screen for LCMV disease
A case involving seven transplant recipients killed by a rodent-borne virus that they apparently acquired from donated and infected human organs has prompted a recommendation that regulatory authorities require suppliers of pet rodents to screen their colonies for the virus. view more (2006-05-26)
