A group of leading scientists has recently reviewed the benefits and risks of Gain of Function research and issued new consensus recommendations - Simon Wain-Hobson examines the report exclusively for The Microbiologist.
The concept that a viral infection may induce pathology in regions far from its active location is gaining traction. Could this phenomenon also be at play in Alzheimer’s disease?
Could plastic waste act as a vector for pathogens and contribute to the spread of infectious diseases?
Scientists found microbial contamination in common sources of drinking water in the Eastern Coachella Valley, including soda fountains at fast-food restaurants.
As a wave of anti-science sentiment sweeps the globe, scientists need to speak up, says paediatric vaccine scientist Dr Peter Hotez in an interview with The Microbiologist as he launches his new book.
For her AMI-sponsored Summer Placement, forensic science student Edie Holmes joined a team investigating whether microbial profiling could be used to link dirt bikes to vandalised sites of special scientific interest (SSSIs). Here’s what happened.
Rutgers researchers have developed a way of detecting the early onset of deadly infectious diseases using a test so ultrasensitive that it could someday revolutionize medical approaches to epidemics.
