and cause other nonlethal infections that can lead to serious complications. Now scientists at the University of Zurich have found that adenoviruses penetrate the cells with the help of the cells themselves.
Adenoviruses cause variety of health problems to humans, such as eye or respiratory infections. Now scientists discovered that natural repair mechanism actually helps virus to penetrate the membrane and cause an infection.

They cause numerous diseases, such as eye or respiratory infections, but they are used also in sciences adenoviruses are used widely in gene therapy.
use this natural repair mechanism to cause infections. Adenoviruses create small pores in the surfaces of the cell membrane as well.
And this mechanism is used by adenovirus to trigger the infection. In the repair process ceramide lipids are formed,
which is part of the explanation for the high infection efficiency of the adenoviruses. Scientists also managed to identify a new inhibitor against the adenoviruses,
and other infections could significantly benefit from these technologies. Source: MIT, written by Kevin Leonard e
PCR-based assays to diagnose infection. The test required an entire vial of a patient blood,
and create a path for further infections. The treatment method uses cold plasma as a healing agent, the first time this has been used on human beings.
which could be a prime site for infections. Sorto hasn't had any infections there yet,
Andersen says.)Ideally, the implants would need to be wireless, but the amount of information coming out of the chips is so large,
Infections aren't the only worry. The chip is like a microscopic pincushion that's pushed into the brain,
an experimental malaria vaccine called Pfspz was found to be much more effective at preventing malaria infection.
Mosquirix helps to prevent infection from the Plasmodium falciparum, one of the deadlier malaria parasites. The vaccine prompts the body to produce a higher amount of antibodies to stop the parasite from infecting the liver.
It's made specifically to combat infection in children and isn't intended for use in adults or travelers.
Early results of a clinical trial of Mosquirix showed that three doses of the vaccine could cut the risk of infection in half for children between between five and 17 months old.
For younger infants between six weeks and 12 weeks, infection was reduced by only 30 percent.
Malaria infection spread through the blood by mosquito bites kills upwards of 500 000 people each year.
Half the world's population live in areas at risk of infection.""This vaccine could mean children will have only two bouts of malaria a year instead of five,"Dr. Martin De Smet,
but infection can be avoided through routine hand-washing and by using gloves or other barriers that prevent contact with bodily fluids.
and systemic infections that could be treated with antibiotics. Ninety-nine percent of them live in poor countries.
