Parents expect to pass on their eye or hair color, their knobby knees or their big feet to their children through their genes. But they don't expect to pass on viruses through those same genes. view more (2008-09-03)
West Nile Virus Infection Greater Than Previously Thought (pp 254, 261)
A detailed analysis of the 1999 New York City outbreak of West Nile virus suggests that a substantial - and previously undiagnosed - outbreak of West Nile fever accompanied the 59 cases of West Nile meningoencephalitis, in which seven people died. The authors of the study, which is published in this week's issue of THE LANCET, conclude that for... view more... (2001-07-25)
Immune cells predict outcome of West Nile virus infection
Infection with West Nile virus (WNV) causes no symptoms in most people. However, it can cause fever, meningitis, and/or encephalitis. What determines the outcome of infection with WNV in different people has not been determined. view more (2009-10-13)
Bioinformatics sheds light on evolutionary origin of Rickettsia virulence genes
Scientists from the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute (VBI) at Virginia Tech, the University of Maryland School of Medicine, and the University of Louisville have revealed that genes for a specific type of molecular secretion system in Rickettsia, a structure that is linked in many cases to virulence, have been conserved over many years of... view more...

Early treatment of systemic onset JIA with anakinra restores the IL-18 response
First line treatment with anakinra (an interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor antagonist), results in a 'good' clinical response (ACRp90) in patients newly diagnosed with systemic onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SoJIA), and restores the deficient IL-18 response of natural killer (NK) cells. view more (2009-06-15)
AAAAI, ACAAI identify new recommendations for sinusitis diagnosis and management
Sinusitis is one of the most diagnosed diseases in the United States, affecting approximately 16% of the adult population, and is responsible for nearly $5.8 billion in health care costs annually, according to an updated practice parameter. view more (2005-11-30)
National Jewish Medical and Research Center Evaluating Treatment To Prevent Allergic Reactions to Food
Researchers at National Jewish Medical and Research Center are conducting trials to evaluate a method to prevent allergic reactions to food. They are feeding peanut- and egg-allergic people increasing doses of an investigational protein extract from the foods to see if they can induce the participants' immune systems to tolerate the food. view more (2008-04-18)
Sunspot abundance linked to heavy rains in East Africa
A new study reveals correlations between plentiful sunspots and periods of heavy rain in East Africa. Intense rainfall in the region often leads to flooding and disease outbreaks. view more (2007-08-06)

Microbes start immune response by sneaking inside cells
Immune cells that are the body's front-line defense don't necessarily rest quietly until invading bacteria lock onto receptors on their outside skins and rouse them to action, as previously thought. In a new paper, University of Michigan scientists describe their findings that bacteria can barge inside these guard cells and independently initiate... view more... (2007-04-16)
Researchers track Lyme disease spirochetes
