Synopsis: Health: Health generale: Illness: Infectious diseases:

such as new strains of tuberculosis against which existing drugs are powerless. It was to meet the unaddressed need for new antibiotics that the ACTINOGEN research project began in 2005

He worries more about gremlins that plague today's reverse osmosis membranes--growths on membrane surfaces that clog them (called"biofouling)

said Michael Osterholm, Director of the Center for Infectious disease Research and Policy in Twin cities, Minnesota,

comparing 571 patient samples to FDA-approved samples of mumps, measles, and herpes simplex viruses 1 and 2. The platform achieved an accuracy of 99.6 percent in diagnosing mumps, 98.6 percent for measles,

and 99.4 percent each for herpes simplex 1 and 2. Schematic overview and different perpsectives of the colorimetric readeraccording to the research paper,

measles, and herpes simplex viruses 1 and 2 were all part of the dual ELISA tests. From 571 patient samples, the mobile platform was 99.6 percent accurate at diagnosing mumps, 98.6 percent for measles,

and 99.4 percent for both herpes simplex 1 and 2. ur team is focused on developing biomedical technologies that work with mobile platforms to assist with on-site testing

and to detect drug resistance in infectious diseases. Bringing techniques and testing that is normally confined to a laboratory or hospital, out into the field,

The ELISA tests included those for mumps, measles, and herpes simplex viruses 1 and 2. With a total of 571 patient samples used in the comparison,

the mobile platform achieved 99.6 percent accuracy in diagnosing mumps, 98.6 percent for measles, and 99.4 percent each for herpes simplex 1 and 2. ur team is focused on developing biomedical technologies that work with mobile platforms to assist with on-site testing

but what about that time you had measles or was it chicken pox? Your blood knows:

Since dengue is primarily spread through the mosquito species Aedes aegypti, Oxitec has engineered a male mosquito that, to female mosquitoes in the wild, looks just like the usual males.

dengue has been on the rise in Brazil, with an estimated 16 million new cases every year.

which meant that Brazilians were left with few options to decrease dengue prevalence. The neighborhood in which the researchers tested the modified mosquitoes was a low-income area with high rates of dengue infection

according to local public health officials. Over a one-year period, the researchers released the modified males into the local environment

The researchers hope to scale up their efforts to eradicate dengue and the insects that carry it in a larger area n

and influenza where raising resistant cells or strains in the lab is more difficult to do than with bacteria the researchers say.

New infectious diseases in animal food production systems can create enormous impacts that can affect domestic consumption and exports

It may also help identify rare mutations and subtypes of infectious diseases as well as drug-resistant strains.
