Researchers develop rapid diagnostic tool for pathogen identification

Researchers at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health and the Columbia Genome Center have designed and developed a sensitive new diagnostic technology platform, called “Mass Tag PCR,?that can simultaneously screen for multiple infectious agents. The new technology is addressed in a paper published in the February issue of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Emerg...

Pathogen-Mimicking Vaccine As Strategy For Cancer Therapy

Results from the first clinical trial of a therapeutic cancer vaccine combining the synthetic bacterial DNA sequence, CpG 7909 (ProMuneTM, Coley Pharmaceutical), with a peptide antigen were reported today in the Journal of Clinical Investigation. The paper shows that the CpG 7909 DNA sequence is safe, and increases the immune system's ability to recognize and destroy cancer cells. The Phase I stu...

A new study examines how shared pathogens affect host populations

Many pathogens are able to infect multiple species within a community and are commonly transmitted across species. Cross-species transmission is often associated with pathogen emergence and therefore has been considered as a negative factor for humans, wildlife, and species of agricultural importance. Many pathogens like malaria, Lyme disease or West Nile encephalitis that infect multiple hosts a...

New lab technique identifies high levels of pathogens in therapy pool

A research team using a novel genetic cloning and sequencing technique has identified a surprisingly high number of airborne pathogens in a Midwest therapy pool, pointing to the need for closer scrutiny of public hot pools, says a new study. Led by Washington University in St. Louis and involving the University of Colorado at Boulder and San Diego State University, the new study assessed t...

Researchers uncover sequence of major rice pathogen

In a genomics milestone, an international consortium of researchers has for the first time lifted the veil from a fungal plant pathogen by sequencing the genome ?or set of all genes ?of the most destructive enemy of rice: Magnaporthe grisea, the fungus that causes rice blast disease. Dr. Ralph Dean, professor of plant pathology and director of North Carolina State University's Center for I...

Researchers Discover New Pathogen In Immune-compromised Patient

A new study published in PLoS Pathogens says that researchers have discovered a new bacterium in an immune-compromised patient. //This bacterium, which belongs to the family Acetobacteraceae is a commonly found in the environment and is used in the vinegar-making industry. The bacterium was identified in a patient with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), which is a rare genetic disorde...

Research Shows That Money May Not Harbour Many Pathogenic Bacteria

An Australian researcher has conducted a study that states that the long-held belief about people catching disease from handling money may be exaggerated.// Dr Frank Vriesekoop, a lecturer in food science at the University of Ballarat, conducted the research and found that there are generally very few pathogenic bacteria on banknotes and coins. He said, "The potential to spread diseas...

New Approach Assesses Risk of Water-Borne Pathogen Disease

Researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine, along with colleagues at the University Peruana Cayetano Heredia in Lima, Peru, have// developed a novel approach for assessing the risk to humans of acquiring leptospirosis – a severe, water-borne disease that is the common cause of severe jaundice, renal failure and lung hemorrhage in urban areas throughout the de...

Researchers Develop Technologies to Devour Food Pathogens

Purdue researchers are developing two inexpensive technologies that may be able to prevent future food-borne illness//, such as the recent outbreak of E. coli in contaminated spinach. Together, these technologies rapidly detect and eradicate food-borne pathogens. The first method uses a laser to detect and identify many types of bacteria, and is about three times faster and...

Potentially Pathogenic Virus Found in Mad Cow Cells

The alternative view that a virus causes spongiform encephalopathies of the brain, such as 'mad cow' and Creutzfeldt-Jakob (CJD) disease, rather than prion// proteins, which are normally produced throughout life, is bolstered in a new study by Yale School of Medicine researchers. The report published online January 29 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences provides evi...
