Pets have a low risk of transmitting multi-drug resistant bugs to owners, study finds
Apr 22, 2020 | 04:55 amZoonoses are diseases that are transmitted from animals to humans. About 75 percent of emerging infectious diseases are zoonoses, just like the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) that’s caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Domesticated animals such as pets can carry parasites and other pathogens to people. However, a new study suggests that pets are not a significant source of transmission to humans.

Study clears potential barrier to controlling mosquito-borne diseases
Apr 17, 2020 | 17:51 pmNew research from entomologists at UC Davis clears a potential obstacle to using CRISPR-Cas9 "gene drive" technology to control mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever and Zika.

Scientists may soon be able to prevent disease-spreading mosquitoes from maturing
Jan 28, 2020 | 13:21 pmNew research from UC Riverside shows scientists may soon be able to prevent disease-spreading mosquitoes from maturing. Using the same gene-altering techniques, they may also be able help boost reproduction in beneficial bumblebees.

Study reports way to predict dengue transmission globally
Dec 6, 2019 | 00:00 amA new study published in the journal PLOS ONE reports a model that is based on air travel, using the number of passengers flowing between international airports to predict how many of the air travellers arriving at any of these airports will have dengue, in a month.

New compound may enhance dengue vaccine efficacy by simulating amino acid deficiency
Nov 27, 2019 | 23:59 pmA new study published in the journal Science Signaling on November 26, 2019, describes a mouse experiment, in which the immune response to the dengue vaccine was boosted when the mice were first given halofuginone, a plant compound that is well known to herbalists.
