The precise strain of the pathogen that caused the devastating outbreak which lasted from 1845 to 1852 had been unknown.
but by sequencing the genomes of preserved samples of the plant pathogen the researchers discovered that a different strain one that is new to science was the real culprit.
The results enabled the researchers to trace the evolution of the pathogen including where and when the HERB-1 and US-1 strains likely diverged.
When Europeans and Americans first came to Mexico in the 16th century the pathogen experienced increased genetic diversity
By the summer of 1845 the HERB-1 strain had arrived at European ports and the potato disease spread throughout Ireland and the United kingdom causing The irish potato famine.
which suggests that breeding techniques may affect the genetic makeup of plant pathogens. Perhaps this strain became extinct
What is for certain is that these findings will greatly help us to understand the dynamics of emerging pathogens.
The new study marks the first time scientists have decoded the genome of a plant pathogen and its host from dried herbarium samples.

#New Bird flu: What the First 82 Cases Reveal Although health officials still haven't confirmed the species of animal that is the source of the H7n9 bird flu outbreak in China most people who fell ill had contact with birds or pigs according to a new report.
The report published online Wednesday (April 24) in the New england Journal of Medicine describes an investigation of the 82 people who were infected with the virus from the beginning of the outbreak (in February and March) through April 17.
So far health officials know of 108 people who've fallen ill with the new strain of bird flu 22 of

#New Culprit in Red Meat Linked with Heart disease The high amounts of saturated fat and cholesterol in red meat have long been blamed for increasing people's risk of heart disease.
But now new research points a finger at another culprit in meat that may be tied more closely to this leading killer.
and is also popular as a dietary supplement may also play a role in the development of heart disease.
and the development of heart disease said study researcher Dr. Stanley Hazen section head of preventive cardiology at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland Ohio.
and saturated fat that explains its association with heart disease. This study suggests carnitine may be a piece of this link he said.
The findings showed that carnitine levels could quite strongly predict participant's risk of existing coronary artery disease as well as the risk of having a major cardiac event such as heart attack stroke
We saw that carnitine supplements doubled the rates of atherosclerosis in the mice Hazen said.
As for how carnitine in red meat may be linked with heart disease Hazen explained that chronic ingestion of carnitine fundamentally shifts the metabolism of cholesterol.
It's changing it in a way that will make you more prone to heart disease he said.

Though they're similar the contrast between OCPD and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) couldn't be starker:
People with OCD have thoughts unwanted that interfere with their functioning whereas people with OCPD are highly functioning individuals who are convinced that their way of thinking is absolutely correct if not superior to everyone else's.

#One Source of Bird flu Virus Found Poultry markets in Shanghai are one likely place where people are contracting the new bird flu virus a new study from China suggests.
The H7n9 viruses in the samples were very genetically similar to the viruses that have sickened people in China suggesting that poultry markets are a source of infections the researchers said.
So far health officials know of 108 people who've fallen ill with the new strain of bird flu 22 of
which is that people can contract bird flu at poultry markets said Dr. Richard Webby a bird flu expert
and infectious disease researcher at St jude Children's Research Hospital who was involved not in the study.
Previously reports of infection with the H5n1 strain of bird flu were linked to poultry markets Webby said.
However the new study does not suggest that the new H7n9 bird flu virus originated in Shanghai poultry markets
or that the markets are the only source of infection said Dr. Andy Pavia chief of the University of Utah's Division of Pediatric Infectious diseases and chair of the influenza advisory committee at the Infectious disease Society of America.
It's not clear that markets are the source for the great majority of infections we just don t know Pavia said.
New flu viruses can arise when gene segments from different flu strains mix and match.
The new study and others suggest that H7n9 had three genetic parents that combined to make the new virus Pavia said.
It provides a rather unnatural environment where a lot of these different bird species that may have different flu viruses get together
A poultry market Shanghai may be one source of H7n9 bird flu infections. This story was provided by Myhealthnewsdaily a sister site to Livescience.

Families with children who are living with celiac disease are especially aware that this type of gathering can be problematic
if there are any food allergies you should know about and pay close attention to what those food allergies mean for your menu.
It is estimated out of every 133 Americans has celiac disease and while a gluten free diet is recommended only for people with celiac disease chances are you will come in contact with someone who needs to strictly avoid gluten.
People with celiac disease really need to read the labels on condiments especially. Marinades or sauces may contain wheat especially
if they contain soy sauce. Also watch out for marinades that are made with beer. Even crumbs from food containing gluten being left behind can be harmful for a child with celiac disease
if the crumbs mix with a gluten-free dish. In order to grill safely gluten-free make sure only plain meat
or vegetables cross-contamination with buns or marinades could be dangerous. I also suggest bringing a gluten-free bun with you to the cookout
And if squeeze bottles aren't being used try to be first in line to avoid contamination from knives that have touched bread containing gluten.
because the long-term effect of anyone with celiac disease being exposed to gluten is damage to the intestine.
First Case Detailed in New Report The case of a father and daughter in China who both became infected with H7n9 bird flu provides the strongest evidence yet that the virus can transmit from person to person experts say.
The father a 60-year-old living in the Jiangsu province of eastern China fell ill about five to six days after he visited a live poultry market in March according to a new report
Both patients became severely ill developing fevers and pneumonia and later died from the disease.
See 6 Things You Should Know About the New Bird flu Genetic testing revealed that the patients were infected with nearly identical strains of H7n9.
The most likely explanation for these cases is that the father became infected with H7n9 from a poultry market
and then he passed the virus directly to his daughter according to the researchers at thejiangsu Province Centre for Disease Control and Prevention.
The new report does not mean that H7n9 is getting closer to causing a pandemic in people James Rudge
Limited human transmission of bird flu viruses has been seen in the past and is not surprising Rudge and Coke said.

However the bulk of the research on toxic metals has focused on lead since lead poisoning is the number one environmental threat to children in the United states. Sources of lead in soil include past industrial activities flaking lead paint from old houses and emissions from leaded gasoline.
Urban gardeners can also take steps to separate their crops from lead contamination. Planting produce in raised beds with store-bought soil will keep plant roots from coming into contact with contaminated earth.

and this campylobacter outbreak demonstrates the ongoing hazards of unpasteurized dairy products according to the report authors from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and state health departments.
The findings were detailed online April 26 in the journal Clinical Infectious diseases. Raw milk is riskier than most foods said Douglas Powell a professor of food safety at Kansas State university.
Children along with pregnant women and people with compromised immune systems are at high risk of complications from campylobacter infections.
Typically campylobacter infections cause diarrhea abdominal pain and fever that last about a week and most people get better on their own.
The researchers recommended that state officials consider more regulation of unpasteurized milk such as monthly pathogen testing.
However consumers can never be unpasteurized certain that milk is free of pathogens even it is certified and from a dairy that seems to be functioning well the report said.
The only way to prevent unpasteurized milk ssociated disease outbreaks is for consumers to refrain from consuming unpasteurized milk the researchers wrote in their report.
1 in 6 Who Drink It Gets Sick On average one in six people who drink raw milk becomes ill with bacterial or parasite infections according to researchers at the Minnesota Department of health.
The researchers found 530 laboratory-confirmed cases of infections including bacterial infections from Salmonella E coli
and Campylobacter as well as parasitic infections called cryptosporidiosis among Minnesota patients who reportedâ drinking raw milkâ between 2001 and 2010.
However many cases of such infections aren't reported or confirmed in a laboratory. Based on known rates of underdiagnosing these infections the researchers estimated that 20502 Minnesotans
or 17 percent of raw milk consumers actually became ill during the study period after consuming raw milk according to the study published today (Dec 11) in the journal Emerging Infectious diseases a public health journal of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The risk for illness associated with raw milk is far greater than what was determined based on recognized outbreaks said study researcher Trisha Robinson an epidemiologist at the Minnesota Department of health.
Infections with the pathogens that can contaminate raw milkâ often cause diarrhea stomach cramps and vomiting which last for about a week.
Fortunately most people recover but sometimes it can cause more severe symptoms or long-term diseases such as a nervous system disorder called Guillain-Barre syndrome or reactive arthritis which is inflammation in the joints that develops in response to an infection by bacteria Robinson told Livescience.
In the study about 20 percent of those who became sick developed a serious complication of bacterial infections called hemolytic uremic syndrome
which can cause kidney failure. Â The researchers also found that cases of sporadic infections meaning they occurred in relative isolation as opposed to being part of an outbreak of infections may greatly outnumber the cases linked with outbreaks.
In fact the number of documented sporadic infections was 25 times greater than the number of cases that were part of an outbreak during the study period Robinson said.
Top 7 Germs in Food that Make You Sick The researchers noted that their study is limited in several ways by the data available to them.
They said the sporadic cases of infection that occurred in people who had consumed recently raw milk could not be linked definitely with the milk.
For example some may have become sick through their contact with cattle. From 1998 through 2011 a total of 148 outbreaks associated with the consumption of raw milk products were documented in the United states resulting in 2384 illnesses 284 hospitalizations and two deaths according to the CDC.
Thirty states in the United states permit the limited sale of raw milk. Raw milk can cause many infectious diseases
and foodborne illnesses because it can contain harmful bacteria that are killed not during pasteurization. However raw milk advocates claim it is healthier
and tastes better. Raw milk's health benefits are not scientifically proven Robinson said. But what we can say is that people are getting sick after drinking raw milk.
and children who drink raw milk are at particularly high risk of developing serious life-threatening illnesses said a leading U s. group of pediatricians.
Pregnant women who drink raw milk may face a fivefold increase in risk of the parasite infection toxoplasmosis the doctors'group said;
and infection with bacteria called Listeria which are also found in raw milk has been linked with high rates of stillbirths preterm delivery as well as sepsis
and meningitis in the newborns said the AAP researchers who reviewed studies on the risks of raw milk consumption.
Children the elderly and people whose immune systems have been suppressed due to other diseases are also particularly at risk for becoming severely ill after consuming raw milk the researchers said.
which means they can carry pathogens such as Listeria Campylobacter Salmonella Brucella and E coli. Top 7 Germs in Food that Make You Sick Over the past decade consumption of raw milk has resulted in 93 illness outbreaks 1837 illnesses 195 hospitalizations and two deaths according to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention. One study published last week by researchers at the Minnesota Department of public health found that as many as one person in six who drinks raw milk becomes ill.
The bacterial infections that come from raw milk often lead to diarrhea and stomach cramps. But for vulnerable people infections can have serious sometimes life-threatening consequences.
For example pregnant women unborn fetuses and newborns are 13 to 17 times more likely to develop severe illness because of listeria infection compared with other groups of people studies have shown.
And 20 percent of pregnant women who become infected with Listeria experience a miscarriage or stillbirth according to the AAP.
Two-thirds of infants whose mothers are infected with Listeria develop infections such as pneumonia sepsis or meningitis.
Substantial data suggest that pasteurized milk confers equivalent health benefits compared with raw milk without the additional risk of bacterial infections the researchers wrote in the statement.
