A molecule impedes the destruction of the 'Brucella' bacteria
Research carried out with the participation of the University of Navarra has shown how a determinate molecule helps an important pathogen, Brucella abortus, escape destruction within the cells charged with eliminating infectious agents (macrophages). View More (2005-06-15)
Balancing male fertility and disease resistance
An international collaboration of researchers, headed by Dr. Shiping Wang (Huazhong Agricultural University, China) has discovered that a single gene in rice regulates both male fertility and pathogen resistance, providing an unexpected genetic link between reproductive success and the disease resistance.

Salmonella survives better in stomach due to altered DNA
Since 1995 there has been a considerable increase in the number of infections with a specific type of Salmonella bacteria transmitted via food. This type, Salmonella serovar Typhimurium DT104, is resistant to at least five different antibiotics. View More (2007-01-31)
Marine pathogens spread much faster than their terrestrial counterparts
It has become increasingly clear that pathogen epidemics are as significant a component of marine systems as they are in terrestrial systems. At an National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS) working group on Diseases in the Ocean, McCallum, Harvell and Dobson collated data on epidemic spread from both terrestrial and marine environments. Their analysis, in a forthcoming issue... View More (2003-11-24)
Potato blight plight looks promising for food security
Over 160 years since potato blight wreaked havoc in Ireland and other northern European countries, scientists funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) finally have the blight-causing pathogen in their sights and are working to accelerate breeding of more durable, disease resistant potato varieties.

Serious setback in the long-term treatment of HIV infection
Structured therapeutic interruptions (STI), long hailed as a way of reducing the side effects of long-term AIDS treatment, has been shown to be ineffective, according to a collaborative study between Swiss and British researchers. Professor Rodney Phillips and colleagues at Oxford University's Peter Medawar Building for Pathogen Research and the Zoology Department collaborated with a Swiss... View More (2002-10-10)
Researcher discovers pathway plants use to fight back against pathogens
Plants are not only smart, but they also wage a good fight, according to a University of Missouri biochemist. Previous studies have shown that plants can sense attacks by pathogens and activate their defenses. View More (2008-04-01)
USDA-led consortium sequences genome of key wheat pathogen
A U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)-led consortium of scientists has fully sequenced the genome of the pathogen that causes the wheat disease known as septoria tritici blotch, which can cause significant yield losses. View More (2011-06-13)
Preserved Frogs Hold Clues to Deadly Pathogen
A Yale graduate student has developed a novel means for charting the history of a pathogen deadly to amphibians worldwide. View More (2012-06-21)
Amino Acid Studies May Aid Battle Against Citrus Greening Disease
Amino acids in orange juice might reveal secrets to the successful attack strategy of the plant pathogen that causes citrus greening disease, also known as Huanglongbing or HLB. View More (2013-01-15)
Nightshades: 'overflowing' with Phytophthora resistant genes?
The potato and other related varieties of the Solanum species contain scores or perhaps even hundreds of genes that can give the plant a degree of resistance to 'potato blight', a disease caused by Phytophthora infestans. This is one of the conclusions that came to light in Vivianne Vleeshouwers' thesis, with which she recently earned her doctoral degree at Wageningen University. Vleeshouwers... View More (2001-02-01)
Breakthrough in combating the growing risk from E.coli food poisoning
Certain pathogenic strains of the E. coli bacteria appear to harpoon themselves into intestine lining cells in order to colonise large sections of the gut, say scientists at Imperial College in London. The researchers, reporting the breakthrough in the new edition of BBSRC Business today, hope that by understanding how the bacteria latches onto and colonises its host, they will be able to design...

Modeling pathogen responses
The search for a vaccination against HIV has been in progress since 1984, with very little success. Traditional methods used for identifying potential cellular targets can be very costly and time-consuming. View More (2007-10-12)
Virginia Bioinformatics Institute launches microbial database
Researchers at the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute at Virginia Tech have launched a publicly-available microbial database to host a range of microbial genome sequences. View More (2006-03-08)
Vaccines Could Help What's Ailing Fish
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists are developing vaccines to help protect healthy farm-raised catfish against key diseases. View More (2010-10-25)
Fungus Found in Humans Shown To Be Nimble in Mating Game
Brown University researchers have determined that Candida albicans, a human fungal pathogen, pursues both same-sex and the more conventional opposite-sex mating. The findings are published in the August 2009 edition of the journal Nature. View More (2009-08-13)
Uncovering the mystery of a major threat to wheat
Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists have solved a longstanding mystery as to why a pathogen that threatens the world's wheat supply can be so adaptable, diverse and virulent. It is because the fungus that causes the wheat disease called stripe rust may use sexual recombination to adapt to resistant varieties of wheat. View More (2010-06-02)
Forsyth team gains new insight on childhood dental disease
Researchers at The Forsyth Institute have made a significant discovery about the nature of childhood dental disease. The scientific studies led by Anne Tanner, BDS, Ph.D., identified a new pathogen connected to severe early childhood caries (cavities). View More (2011-02-28)
Key pathway to stop dangerous, out-of-control inflammation discovered
A potential new strategy to developing new drugs to control inflammation without serious side effects has been found by Georgia State University researchers and international colleagues. View More (2013-04-10)
Research team unravels tomato pathogen's tricks of the trade
For decades, scientists and farmers have attempted to understand how a bacterial pathogen continues to damage tomatoes despite numerous agricultural attempts to control its spread. View More (2011-11-04)
