UGA researchers find that hunting can increase the severity of wildlife disease epidemics
A new study by University of Georgia researchers shows that the common practice of killing wild animals to control disease outbreaks can actually make matters worse in some cases. view more (2006-07-17)

Retrovirus Invasion in Primate Evolution; Limiting the Transmission of Rabies: Press Release from PLoS Biology
The Chimp Genome Reveals Retroviral Invasions in Primate Evolution It's been known for a long time that only 2% - 3% of human DNA codes for proteins. Much of the rest of our genomes - often referred to as junk DNA - consists of retroelements, some of which can occasionally replicate and move to a new location in the genome. view more (2005-02-23)
PROMISING RESULTS FOR MALARIA VACCINE (p 1927)
Results of a study from The Gambia in this week's issue of THE LANCET provide evidence of a vaccine that could prevent malaria caused by the micro-organism Plasmodium falciparum. P. falciparum malaria remains a major cause of disease and death in many parts of the tropics, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. The development of an effective vaccine... view more... (2001-12-05)
Evolution of new brain area enables complex movements
A new area of the cerebral cortex has evolved to enable man and higher primates to pick up small objects and deftly use tools, according to neuroscientists at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and Pittsburgh's Veterans Affairs Medical Center. view more (2009-01-13)
Project aims to predict the future of the Forth Estuary
A spin-out company from the University of Edinburgh, which created a system to build models simulating the effects of changes to the environment, has received new funding to develop animated maps of the Firth of Forth area . The maps and diagram-based software will help to predict the effects of changes in population, industry and transport on the... view more... (2002-09-03)
New technique points to safer, more efficient vaccination
Researchers have demonstrated a technique that has the potential to reduce the toxicity of vaccines and to make smaller doses more effective, according to a study published in PLoS Pathogens. view more (2005-12-30)
Animal magnetism provides a sense of direction
They may not be on most people's list of most attractive species, but bats definitely have animal magnetism. Researchers from the Universities of Leeds and Princeton have discovered that bats use a magnetic substance in their body called magnetite as an 'internal compass' to help them navigate. view more (2008-02-27)
Scientists learn more about how viruses reproduce, spread
Biochemists at Wake Forest University School of Medicine have made a surprising discovery about the inner workings of a powerful virus - a discovery that they hope could one day lead to better vaccines or anti-virus medications. view more (2006-04-07)
UT Southwestern researchers develop new strategy for broad spectrum anti-viral drugs
Bavituximab, an anti-viral drug developed by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers, shows promise as a new strategy to fight viral diseases, including potential bioterrorism agents. view more (2008-11-24)
Salk research challenges concept that motion perception is all black and white
Researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies have discovered a neural circuit that is likely to play an important role in the visual perception of moving objects. view more (2006-04-20)
Different type of colon cancer vaccine reduces disease spread, Jefferson scientists show
Taking advantage of the fact that the intestines have a separate immune system from the rest of the body, scientists at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson in Philadelphia have found a way to immunize mice against the development of metastatic disease. view more (2008-06-25)
Contagious canine cancer
The source of a cancer that affects dogs around the world has been traced by scientists and vets at UCL (University College London) to a single wolf or dog, which probably lived in China or Siberia more than 250 years ago. view more (2006-08-11)
A closer look at a malaria vaccine trial and controlling HIV-1 viremia: PLoS Medicine Highlights
Malaria vaccine trial The results of a randomized controlled trial of a malaria vaccine called ME-TRAP are published this month in PLoS Medicine. "This first field efficacy trial was an important milestone in the progression of new recombinant vectored vaccines to deployable products," says Adrian Hill (University of Oxford, United... view more...
