Infectious disease expert warns of spread of Rocky Mountain spotted fever
An infectious disease expert at Johns Hopkins who has spent nearly three decades studying the life-threatening, tick-borne infection known as Rocky Mountain spotted fever warns that the first widespread outbreak of the bacterial disease in Arizona is a growing and dangerous sign of how humans can inadvertently help spread infectious organisms beyond traditional state boundaries. In an arti...Spread Of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever Is A Probability, Say Experts
Researcher from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine had said in a research finding to be published in The New England Journal of Medicine that the disease called Rocky Mountain spotted fever may spread faster// than people thought possible, to cause an outbreak. The research highlights the importance of the recent outbreak in Arizona, US, as the first confirmed cases that could...Fresh Bird Flu Cases Spotted In Southern Russia
Moscow: The southern state of Volgograd, in Russia, has reported the deadly H5N1 strain of the bird flu virus, according to reports from the state veterinary authorities.// This is the second case in two weeks. Nearly 11 regions in Southern Russia have reported Bird-Flu infections from the beginning of 2006 and birds in large numbers have been culled.

In order to prevent such illnesses, researchers //are looking at the role played by antioxidants like alpha-lipoic acid and green tea and vitamins C and E in preventing infection by rickettsia bacteria. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, part of t...Scientists Spotted Out Tumor Vessel by Molecular Markers
Results from a new study have made it easier for scientists to distinguish between growing blood vessels in healthy tissues and those that are associated with tumors . This is a significant finding because this distinction, particularly at a molecular level, has remained elusive for quite some time. A major strategy for destroying cancer cells has been to disrupt the growing blood vess...Gene Linked With Restless Leg Syndrome Spotted Out
Scientists have identified the first gene that is linked to Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS), which is a common sleep disorder that affects millions of people worldwide . RLS is characterised by powerful, most often overpowering need to move the legs and is also a major cause of insomnia and sleep disturbance. We now have concrete evidence that RLS is an authentic disorde...Rickettsia rickettsii (Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever) Antibody, IgM by ELISA
