We recently identified C. pseudodiphtheriticum and D. pigrum as the major nasopharyngeal species associated with resistance to recurrent ear infections

Once upon a time it was infectious diseases like polio, measles or tuberculosis that most worried parents. With these threats now largely under control, parents face a new challenge – sky-rocketing rates of non-infectious diseases such as asthma, allergies and autism.

Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) after group A streptococcus (GAS) infections is heritable and prevalent in Indigenous populations. Molecular mimicry between human and GAS proteins triggers proinflammatory cardiac valve-reactive T cells.

disease-deconvolution" identified associations between the parasite-brain interactions and epilepsy, movement disorders, Alzheimer's disease, and cancer.

Here we show that transfected macrophages stably expressing wild-type Nramp1 (Nramp1+) control the net replication of B. thailandensis, but not B. pseudomallei.

These results contribute to our understanding of immunopathology associated with visceral leishmaniasis and response to sodium stibogluconate treatment

We found no increased risk of poor development among boys with hypospadias or undescended testis

Our results show perturbation of host mitochondrial function following T. gondii infection that likely impacts on pathogenesis of disease.

We believe this data represents a useful resource to understand the central nervous system in macaque.

Genome wide linkage studies (GWLS) have provided evidence for loci controlling visceral leishmaniasis on Chromosomes 1p22, 6q27, 22q12 in Sudan...
