A study conducted at the Department of Ecology and Evolution of the University of Lausanne (Unil) quantifies the impact of wildlife trade on the exchange of germs and parasites between animals and ...
Wildlife trade, which concerns a quarter of all mammal species, increases the chances of pathogen transmission between animals and humans. As the exchange of animals might suggest, humans interact ...
New study on avian malaria finds most of Hawaii’s birds contribute to deadly pathogen’s transmission
A Hawai'i 'Amakihi, one of just 15 surviving bird species in the Hawaiian honeycreeper family, is a frequent reservoir for avian malaria. Originally, more than 50 distinct species of Hawaiian ...
In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, researchers assessed the association between indoor air respiratory pathogens and natural ventilation, carbon dioxide (CO2) levels, and air ...
Infectious diseases severely threaten public health and global biosafety. In addition to transmission through the air, pathogenic microorganisms have also been detected in environmental liquid samples ...
The World Health Organization is opening up the definition of airborne pathogens – such as Covid-19, influenza and measles – to include when respiratory droplets spread through the air and when they ...
While it’s understandable to focus on the diseases affecting humans, it’s important to study how our illnesses may affect animals. When infectious microbes repeatedly replicate in different animal ...
A little-known bacterium - a distant cousin of the microbes that cause tuberculosis and leprosy - is emerging as a public health threat capable of causing severe lung infections among vulnerable ...
