and more effective route to the creation of vaccines to combat some of the most devastating diseases affecting farm livestock.

the PLAPROVA consortium focused on the use of plants proteins to produce vaccines against diseases such as avian flu, bluetongue, foot and mouth disease,

usually in a matter of months from the time the strain of disease is first indentified.

It has allowed also the resurgence of'old'diseases that we thought were things of the past,

They are now working to bring their low-cost innovations to market quickly a boost to the global battle against this deadly disease.

The netherlands-based research company specialises in developing products to control disease-transmitting insects. have been working in the field of malaria research for the past 22 years,

and lead to a type of medicine where physicians treat disease and alleviate pain with electronics instead of drugs. e need to make these devices as small as possible to more easily implant them deep in the body

and create new ways to treat illness and alleviate pain, says Ada Poon, assistant professor of electrical engineering at Stanford university.

The crisis is attributed generally to a mixture of disease, parasites, and pesticides. Other scientists are pursuing a different tack:

and even pest and disease resistance. There is potential for these multifunctional techno-greenhouses built around LED grow lights to increase the quality of the food we eat

Of course, the disease-eradicating, condom-reinventing Microsoft cofounder didn actually drink human excrement Sedro-Woolley-produced sewage sludge at its finest.

The vaccine could prevent future outbreaks of the disease, and potentially lead to new treatments for polio and other human diseases.

Bryan Charleston, head of the Livestock Viral Diseases Programme at the Pirbright Institute in Woking, UK,

and his colleagues used computer simulations to create a model of the protein shell of the virus that causes the disease,

then reconstructed it from synthetic protein components. The synthetic shell contains no genetic material and so it cannot infect the animals.

it could also be used to create vaccines for human diseases that are caused by viruses of the same family, such as hand, foot and mouth disease,

because we are so close to ending this disease. JEFF J MITCHELL/REUTERSA 2001 outbreak of foot and mouth disease led to the slaughter of huge numbers of sheep and cows.

This transformative technology enables highly specific low-power high-throughput physiological sensing that can be multiplexed to detect a number of significant disease-specific factors in real time commented Scott Hammond executive director of UCSB's Translational Medicine

This could get around a lot of serious health problems in neurodegenerative diseases in the future.""These disorders, such as Parkinson's, that involve malfunctioning nerve cells can lead to difficulty with the most mundane and essential movements that most of us take for granted:

This inability to see what's happening in the body's command center hinders the development of effective treatments for diseases that stem from it.

which are affected in some neurodegenerative diseases. And it's at this level where the promise of Lieber's most recent work enters the picture.

-which might not actually manage to develop into a human even under the right conditions-than of individuals who suffer daily with crippling diseases that were thrust upon them by chance

Stem cell research is an incredibly valuable source of information concerning real diseases that real humans are really suffering from right at this very moment.

Stem cell-derived organs might in future provide accurate disease models for screening of pharmaceutical compounds reducing the requirement for animal testing

and while many of these are beneficial, some can cause disease. For example, some reports have linked Crohn disease to the presence of certain strains of E coli. e like to be able to remove specific members of the bacterial population

and see what their function is in the microbiome, Lu says. n the longer term you could design a specific phage that kills that bug

so that simplifies that workflow in the lab. he new approach also overcomes an important hurdle in using bacteriophages to treat disease,

as well as treating human disease. Another advantage of this approach is that all of the phages are based on an identical genetic scaffold,

and will diagnose diseases without requiring specialized laboratories particularly useful in regions with limited access to doctors and hospitals.

and allows it to time-release. y allowing rapid detection of disease and preventing agricultural chemical release into the environment,

According to UC Davis researchers, these sponge-like nanoporous gold hold the potential for enabling new devices to detect agents responsible for causing disease in both plants

It almost like a natural sieve. arly identification of disease biomarkers and pathogenic microbes is possible with the swift and sensitive detection of nucleic acids.

Going forward, the team anticipates that their research will be useful in the progress of mini point-of-care diagnostic systems for clinical and agricultural applications. he applications of the sensor are quite broad ranging from detection of plant pathogens to disease biomarkers,

For instance, in human sepsis cases, the illness can be detected early on, thereby preventing any needless treatments as doctors can now establish bacterial contamination much more rapidly than ever before.

The disease starves the tree of nutrients damages its roots and the tree produces fruits that are green and misshapen, unsuitable for sale as fresh fruit or, for the most part, juice.

and the disease has affected already millions of citrus trees in North america. It has recently been found twice in California.

Viruses there contaminated a plant where bacteria were used to make drugs for two rare genetic disorders, Gaucher disease and Fabry disease, cutting off supplies.

so the only way to cut down on incidences of the disease is to decrease the number of mosquitoes that carry it.

or transmit the disease. Juazeiro, a city in northeast Brazil, was a great place to try them out.

Many of the mosquitoes that carry the disease are also resistant to pesticides, which meant that Brazilians were left with few options to decrease dengue prevalence.

In the course of that year, the number of disease-carrying mosquitoes decreased by 95 percent as compared to a control group in a neighborhood next door.

#Lawrence Livermore technology could help detect diseases in commercial swine industry Agricultural officials who seek to detect diseases affecting the commercial swine industry may gain a new ally a biological detection system developed by Lawrence Livermore

A study by LLNL and Kansas State university scientists found that the Lawrence Livermore Microbial Detection Array (LLMDA) could help identify diseases in the commercial swine industry.

Many of the diseases affecting the commercial swine industry involve complex syndromes caused by multiple pathogens

as well as public health in the case of diseases that can move from animals to humans, the paper authors wrote.

Two examples of new diseases introduced into the swine industry include theinfluenza A virus subtype H1n1 and Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus.

Two other foreign diseases, African swine fever and classical swine fever, remain constant threats to the U s. industry. he best assurance for the timely identification of known and unknown threats is to employ techniques

it becomes feasible to look at microarrays as everyday tools for use in the diagnostic laboratory. he beauty of the LLMDA is that it lets you identify unknown diseases that the researcher isn looking for,

and polymicrobial. hese multiple bacteria and viruses end up in a disease syndrome. Wee looking at a complex situation

and we need the tools that can give us a comprehensive look at the disease factors involved.

Clostridium and Staphylococcus. he use of the microarray technology could help the U s. detect the emergence of foreign animal diseases at their outset to prevent major disease outbreaks,

The ability to accurately find mutations that are biomarkers for disease will help clinicians determine treatment paths for patients,

but mutations can leave the body vulnerable to disease, or even be the root cause.

as a result of human exploitation and disease-related die offs, says Joshua Miller, Phd student in the Department of Biological sciences and lead author on the study. hus,
