Fungus Foot Baths Could Save Bees
One of the biggest world wide threats to honey bees, the varroa mite, could soon be about to meet its nemesis. Researchers at the University of Warwick are examining naturally occurring fungi that kill the varroa mite. They are also exploring a range of ways to deliver the killer fungus throughout the hives from bee fungal foot baths to powder... view more... (2008-07-29)
Natural fats can prevent sexually transmitted infections, including HIV
A fat commonly found in foodstuffs such as milk can rapidly destroy sexually transmitted viruses and bacteria, including HIV, researchers have discovered. The search for another method to prevent sexually acquired infections has intensified since reports that frequent use of commercially available spermicidal products may be toxic to the vagina... view more...

Research published today in BioMed Central's open access journal Respiratory Research describes possible childhood risk factors, including exposure to animals, early respiratory or ear infections and growing up in a large family. view more (2008-08-22)
Home screening kits for common sexually acquired infection
The arrival of home screening kits for one of the most common sexually acquired infections might not be that far off, suggests research in Sexually Transmitted Infections. The bacterium in question is Chlamydia, infection with which can lead to lifelong infertility, because it is often symptomless and may go undetected for many years. view more (2000-02-28)
Acinetobacter baumannii, the hospital opportunist
Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic pathogen operating in hospitals creating serious infections such as pneumonia. It principally affects patients who have weakened health and this is why we call it opportunistic. Moreover, the mortality rate from these infections are usually high given, on the one hand, the weakness of the patient and, on... view more... (2004-01-13)
Scientists find infection history must play key role in vaccine development
Under Strict Embargo for 00.01hrs GMT Monday 6 November 2000 The timing and design of vaccines used to immunise against lung infections may have to change in the light of research findings by Imperial College scientists (1).

Antibiotic Resistance Could Increase Rates Of UK Gonorrhoea Infection (p 1867)
Authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET are calling for UK gonorrhoea treatment guidelines to be revised in light of new evidence showing a steep increase in antibiotic resistance. After chlamydia, gonorrhoea is the most common bacterial sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the UK. The symptoms include pain when passing... view more... (2003-05-28)
