Isothermal DNA Amplification Method Detects Onchocerca in Skin Biopsies
Onchocerciasis, infection with the filarial nematode Onchocerca volvulus is a neglected tropical disease, which is best known as river blindness. Diagnostic procedures for the diagnosis of infection with this nematode parasite are currently based on the microscopic detection of microfilariae in skin biopsies. More...20 Dec 2016
Genomics Technique Accelerate Detection of Foodborne Bacterial Outbreaks
Diagnostic testing for foodborne pathogens relies on culture-based techniques that are not rapid enough for real-time disease surveillance and do not give a quantitative picture of pathogen abundance or the response of the natural microbiome. More...15 Dec 2016
Gram-Negative Bacterial Molecules Associated with Alzheimer Disease Pathology
Scientists have known for some time that infections can increase the risk of Alzheimer's. However, now for the first time it has been found increased levels of Gram-negative bacteria antigens in Alzheimer's disease brains and bacterial molecules associated with the disease pathology.
