Identified mechanism in the malaria parasite to help it adapt to infected individuals
Plasmodium falciparum is responsible for the most severe forms of human malaria. Invasion of host red blood cells is an essential step of the complex life cycle of this parasite. View More (2007-08-03)
Working with `worms` to reveal the secrets of a long life
10 meter long, 25 year old tape worms living in human and animal digestive systems are the subjects for the latest research project at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth (UWA). A group of scientists led by Dr Peter Brophy and Professor John Barrett of the University`s Institute of Biological Sciences are taking a new perspective on how parasitic worms survive for long periods of time within...

New research team to tackle disease
A new Immunology and Infection Unit, which will research how disease occurs and how our immune systems respond, opens shortly in York. The Unit is a joint venture of the Department of Biology at York and the Hull York Medical School (HYMS). Professor Paul Kaye, who joins the University of York from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, will direct the Unit. "The new research... View More (2004-03-15)
Healthy piglets? Not with sulfonamides!
Young pigs are known to be particularly susceptible to intestinal problems, which not only discomfort the animals but also slow their growth - and thus increase the cost of meat production. View More (2011-12-06)

Protection from severe malaria explained
Why do people with a hereditary mutation of the red blood pigment hemoglobin (as is the case with sickle-cell anemia prevalent in Africa) not contract severe malaria? View More (2011-11-21)
Research breakthrough could lead to new treatment for malaria
Malaria causes more than two million deaths each year, but an expert multinational team battling the global spread of drug-resistant parasites has made a breakthrough in the search for better treatment. Better understanding of the make-up of these parasites and the way they reproduce has enabled an international team, led by John Dalton, a biochemist in McGill's Institute of Parasitology, to...

Major breakthrough in the diagnosis of Parasitic Diseases
Chagas disease is one of the most deadly parasitic diseases in the world. It affects more than 10 million people, primarily in the Americas. In South America alone it kills 50 000 people each year. View More (2010-04-28)
Study turns parasite invasion theory on its head
Current thinking on how the Toxoplasma gondii parasite invades its host is incorrect, according to a study published today in Nature Methods describing a new technique to knock out genes. View More (2012-12-27)
LSUHSC research discoveries shed light on common STI
Research led by David H. Martin, MD, Professor and Chief of Infectious Diseases at LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans, has found that a common sexually transmitted infection-causing parasite "cultivates" bacteria beneficial to it, changing thinking about which comes first-infection or bacteria.

Research discovers potentially deadly fungus senses body's defenses to evade them
Glen Palmer, PhD, Assistant Professor of Microbiology, Immunology & Parasitology at LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans, was part of an international research team led by Luigina Romani, MD, at the University of Perugia, that discovered opportunistic fungi like Candida albicans can sense the immune status of host cells and adapt, evading immune system defenses.

Deworming lambs can be minimized with rotational grazing and checking the animals' eye color, according to an Agricultural Research Service (ARS) study. View More (2010-07-07)
New more rapid methods for the detection of salmonella
The food and drink we consume have to pass strict quality control tests. Nevertheless, these precautions are not always sufficient, given that some foodstuffs still give rise to illness. In most cases, food poisoning is caused by micro-organisms. The salmonella bacteria is, without doubt, one of the better known ones. The University of the Basque Country (EHU) is developing a new system to detect... View More (2004-04-22)
