Currently there are no diagnostic tests for ARF, and no treatments targeting immune responses to improve disease outcomes.

Australian researchers who have conducted the first study looking at the direct health impacts of predicted carbon dioxide levels say the results are worrying and highlight the urgent need for more research into the issue.

IgE-mediated sensitisation to egg is common in infants. In some cases, the processes leading to egg sensitisation are established in early life, even before introduction to solid foods. The underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. 

Antioxidant intakes in pregnancy may influence fetal immune programming and the risk of allergic disease.

Goal: Characterize the pattern of contemporary and endemic ARF and develop a biological signature to improve sensitivity and specificity of ARF diagnosis.

ORIGINS is an interventional cohort study, meaning participants receive timely feedback and an action plan to address any potential abnormalities.

A recent systematic review of 5 randomized clinical trials, found that early egg introduction was associated with reduced egg allergy.

The implications of climate change for malaria eradication this century remain poorly resolved. Many studies focus on parasite and vector ecology in isolation, neglecting the interactions between climate, malaria control and the socioeconomic environment, including disruption from extreme weather. Here we integrate 25 years of African data on climate, malaria burden and control, socioeconomic factors, and extreme weather.
