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)
Ecology Drives The Worldwide Distribution Of Human Diseases
Mounting evidence suggests that ecological and climatic conditions influence the emergence, spread, and recurrence of infectious diseases. Global climate change is likely to aggravate climate-sensitive diseases in unpredictable ways. Increasingly, public health programs aimed at preventing and controlling disease outbreaks are considering aspects of the ecology of infectious diseases--how hosts,... View More (2004-06-09)
Foodborne infections in the home linked to social functions
Although there has been a downward trend in outbreaks of infectious intestinal diseases in the home, food is the predominant transmitter of infection, and seems to be linked to social functions such as barbecues and dinner parties, finds a study in this week's BMJ. View More (2001-11-07)
Can interacting pathogens explain disease patterns?
A new study into the way in which parasites interact with each other could help predict when infectious diseases are likely to break out. View More (2007-12-13)
IAH appoints new Head of Epidemiology
The Institute for Animal Health is pleased to announce that Dr Matthew Baylis has been appointed as Head of the Division of Epidemiology. Dr Baylis will take charge of a re-structured division responsible for experimental epidemiology and mathematical modelling of a number of infectious diseases across the Institute's three laboratories at Compton, Edinburgh and Pirbright. Dr Baylis joined the... View More (2003-03-03)
Syphilis survey reveals need for accurate testing for early infection
Although syphilis is one of the oldest known diseases, most health professionals do not have access to the tests necessary to reliably diagnose it in its earliest and most infectious stage. View More (2009-10-23)
Dausey focuses on sustainability of infectious disease surveillance
Just as the globalization of trade and travel is rapidly evolving, so is the globalization of infectious diseases and the need for cooperative approaches to detect, prevent and control them, according to Dr. David Dausey, chair of the Mercyhurst University Public Health Department.

High degree of resistance to antibiotics in Arctic birds
In the latest issue of the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases, Swedish researchers report that birds captured in the hyperboreal tundra, in connection with the tundra expedition "Beringia 2005," were carriers of antibiotics-resistant bacteria. View More (2008-01-14)
No link between multiple childhood vaccinations and hospitalization for nontargeted diseases
New research does not support a belief that children receiving multiple vaccines increase their risk of hospitalization for a nontargeted infectious disease, according to a study in the August 10 issue of JAMA. View More (2005-08-10)
Strategic Plan maintains UK at Centre of Animal Health Research
The rationale behind the publication of the Strategic Plan is the threat posed by diseases of farm animals to the well-being of every nation in terms of food, animal welfare and public health. The plan highlights the vital need to maintain UK expertise in the infectious diseases of farm animals, given that disease is dynamic and unpredictable, with a new infectious pathogen of livestock emerging...

Avoiding a cartography catastrophe
Since the mid-nineteenth century, maps have helped elucidate the deadly mysteries of diseases like cholera and yellow fever. Yet today's global mapping of infectious diseases is considerably unreliable and may do little to inform the control of potential outbreaks, according to a new systematic mapping review of all clinically important infectious diseases known to humans.

Understanding robustness in organisms -- a potential weapon against infectious diseases
"Robust" is an adjective appreciatively applied to certain vintage wines, but when describing viruses and pathogens, robustness is a property that may be much less desirable. It evokes drug resistant microbes and other superbugs that can wreak havoc as researchers struggle to deal with new pandemics. How can we undercut this robustness? View More (2010-06-16)
Waterborne infectious diseases could soon be consigned to history, says expert
Waterborne infectious diseases, which bring death and illness to millions of people around the world, could largely be consigned to history by 2015 if global health partnerships integrate their programmes. View More (2006-08-25)
Imperial to lead the way in developing vaccines against bio-weapons
Scientists at Imperial College London and Hammersmith Hospital are to help develop new vaccines in case of a terrorist release of biological agents such as anthrax. View More (2004-11-01)
Study Examines Recurrent Wound Botulism in Injection Drug Users
Botulism is a rare disease and recurrent botulism even more rare. However, in California, recurrent wound botulism among injection drug users has been on the rise and makes up three-quarters of reported cases in the United States. View More (2011-02-28)
Pertussis: Adults can fall severely ill too
Pertussis, also known as whooping cough, is not just a childhood disease. View More (2008-09-26)
The Role Of Sexually Transmitted Diseases, Malaria, And Tuberculosis On The Hiv-1/Aids Epidemic In Africa (p 2177)
The effect of HIV-1 on other infectious diseases in Africa is an increasing public health concern. In a review in this week's issue of THE LANCET, Elizabeth Corbett from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, UK, and the Harare Biomedical Research and Training Institute, Zimbabwe, and colleagues describe the role that three major infectious diseases-malaria, sexually transmitted...

Vaccine shows promise in preventing mono
A new study suggests that a vaccine targeting Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) may prevent infectious mononucleosis, commonly known as "mono" or "glandular fever." View More (2007-12-11)
'Identify and Isolate': Simple public health measures work best in controlling highly infectious diseases
Simple public health measures, such as the isolation of individuals with disease symptoms and the tracing and quarantining of anyone who has been in contact with them, are the most effective ways of stopping many infectious diseases, according to mathematical modelling by a team of Imperial College London researchers. The research, published in the latest Proceedings of the National Academy of... View More (2004-05-06)
Two centres for infectious diseases established
The Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) has awarded a so-called centre subsidy to two research centres which are currently being established. Each centre will receive a total of 1.35 million euros. These funds must be used by the centres over the next five years to carry out multidisciplinary research towards the prevention, management or treatment of infectious diseases in the...
