Feb. 12, 2025 — Scientists have uncovered the equipment that enables bacteria to survive exposure to antibiotics: a shuttling mechanism that helps a complex of proteins pump out a wide spectrum ...
The Pennsylvania Game Commission announced Wednesday an additional chronic wasting disease-positive deer has been detected in ...
Researchers have identified chronic wasting disease (CWD) prions in raw, cooked, and cured meat from an infected elk in Texas, confirming the presence of the infectious CWD-causing agents in muscle ...
Feb. 12, 2025 — A virus originally found in animals, mpox -- which causes the disease of the same name -- is now circulating in humans. Since 2022, it has been the cause of major epidemics ...
A new study led by Prof. Tan Zhiliang from the Institute of Subtropical Agriculture of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has unveiled intricate coordination mechanisms between ruminal mucosal ...
Microbiology is the study of microscopic organisms, such as bacteria, viruses, archaea, fungi and protozoa. This discipline includes fundamental research on the biochemistry, physiology, cell ...
An always-fatal neurological disease caused by a misfolded protein called a prion, CWD is a threat to deer and elk. It’s classified as a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) and is ...
Research being carried out at the NPDPSC (supported in part by NIH and CDC): Cases of prion disease received by the NPDPSC are examined individually and in aggregate with the aim of timely detecting ...
A pioneering genetic study has identified key variations in the prion protein gene (PRNP) that could influence resistance to prion diseases in Nigerian livestock species. The research, led by Dr.
