- 1From: Nature Reviews Microbiology. (Vol. 6, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedA study published in PLoS Biology by Figueiredo, Janzen and Cross has identified a role for epigenetic regulation in antigen switching and immune evasion by the parasite Trypanosoma brucei. Modulation of the variant...
- 2From: Nature Reviews Microbiology. (Vol. 6, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedAn outbreak of the H5N1 bird flu virus in ducks and chickens has been found in two Nigerian poultry markets in the northern cities of Kano and Katsina. The affected farms are now being depopulated and disinfected...
- 3From: Nature Reviews Microbiology. (Vol. 6, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedSystems-biology approaches, which are driven by genome sequencing and high-throughput functional genomics data, are revolutionizing single-cellorganism biology. With the advent of various high-throughput techniques that...
- 4From: Nature Reviews Microbiology. (Vol. 6, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedHundreds of thousands of adults develop vaccine-preventable diseases, with annual treatment costs of US$10 billion in the United States alone, according to the CDC. For example, only 2% of Americans aged between 18 and...
- 5From: Nature Reviews Microbiology. (Vol. 6, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedA genome-editing approach targeting the CC-chemokine receptor CCR5, which is the main co-receptor for entry of HIV-1 into CD[4.sup.+] T cells, has the potential to reconstitute immune function in HIV+ individuals by...
- 6From: Nature Reviews Microbiology. (Vol. 6, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedTo optimize access to nutrients, bacteria have developed intricate mechanisms to prevent other micro-organisms--usually of a different species--from invading their space. Gibbs and colleagues, reporting in a recent issue...
- 7From: Nature Reviews Microbiology. (Vol. 6, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedSmokers are prone to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which is the fourth largest cause of death worldwide and is characterized by coughing, excessive mucus production and alveolar destruction. Sufferers of...
- 8From: Nature Reviews Microbiology. (Vol. 6, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedIn recent years there has been a devastating loss of bee colonies, mainly in the United States but also in European countries. Mites, viruses, genetically engineered crops or a combination of these factors have all been...
- 9From: Nature Reviews Microbiology. (Vol. 6, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedMore than 1,300 people have been struck down since April in a Salmonella enterica serovar Saintpaul outbreak in the United States and Canada. Epidemiological investigations indicated that tomatoes, jalapenos and Serrano...
- 10From: Nature Reviews Microbiology. (Vol. 6, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedNumerous fungal species respond to contact with a surface by undergoing differentiation. Contact between plant pathogenic fungi and a surface results in the elaboration of the complex structures that enable invasion of...
- 11From: Nature Reviews Microbiology. (Vol. 6, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedThe stomach bacterium Helicobacter pylori could decrease the risk of asthma development in children by up to 50%, say researchers from the New York University Langone Medical Center, United States. Because of cleaner...
- 12From: Nature Reviews Microbiology. (Vol. 6, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedAccording to the 2006 Pew Internet: The Internet and Science survey, 87% of Americans use the internet for science-related research and 67% of internet users stumble across science news and information when they are...
- 13From: Nature Reviews Microbiology. (Vol. 6, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedAt the cross-roads of nanoscience and microbiology, the nanoscale analysis of microbial cells using atomic force microscopy (AFM) is an exciting, rapidly evolving research field. Over the past decade, there has been...
- 14From: Nature Reviews Microbiology. (Vol. 6, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedA Dutch tourist is critically ill after contracting Marburg haemorrhagic fever while holidaying in Uganda. On her travels she entered a cave that was inhabited by fruit bats, known vectors of filoviruses, and reportedly...
- 15From: Nature Reviews Microbiology. (Vol. 6, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedResearch into drugs to battle HIV infection has suffered yet another setback with the announcement that Roche, one of the largest international pharmaceutical companies, has cancelled its research programmes into new HIV...
- 16From: Nature Reviews Microbiology. (Vol. 6, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedThis month's Genome Watch examines recent genome papers that provide insight into opportunistic pathogenesis. Acinetobacter baumannii is emerging as an opportunistic pathogen that primarily infects immunocompromised...
- 17From: Nature Reviews Microbiology. (Vol. 6, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedThe ability of the human body to play host to bacterial pathogens has been studied for more than 200 years. Successful pathogenesis relies on the ability to acquire the nutrients that are necessary for growth and...
- 18From: Nature Reviews Microbiology. (Vol. 6, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedViruses of the Fiaviviridae family, including hepatitis C, dengue and bovine viral diarrhoea, are responsible for considerable morbidity and mortality worldwide. Recent advances in our understanding of virion assembly...
