all the plague outbreaks :: Article Creator Egyptian Mummy Discovered With Bubonic Plague Rewrites History Of The Notorious Black Death Scientists have discovered an over 3,000-year-old Egyptian mummy who may have died of the bubonic plague — marking the first case of the disease outside of the Eurasian continent. The breakthrough discovery provides "molecular evidence for the presence of plague in ancient Egypt," the researchers wrote in their abstract. Researchers determined this after examining the corpse, which is housed in Italy's Egyptian Museum of Turin, and dates back 3,290 years to the late Bronze Age, Popular Science reported. while experts have long postulated about the plague's footprint in Egypt for decades, there hasn't been solid evidence for it — until now. Getty Images Analysis of the mummy's bone tissue revealed traces of Y. Pestis — bubonic plague bacteria — DNA, meaning that the disease had reac...

Jenner, subsequently, exposed the boy to smallpox. Interestingly, the boy did not contract smallpox. Even after multiple exposures to smallpox, the young boy never got sick. Later scientists realized that the two diseases were caused by the same virus, but cowpox was much safer. This was a groundbreaking discovery and laid the foundation for vaccine medicine. Consequently, in 1980 t...

reconstituting mmr vaccine :: Article Creator Efforts To Improve Vaccine Stabilization Heat Up The PATH researchers are not alone in tackling vaccine temperature stability, which is a major logistical challenge to achieving widespread vaccination, especially in developing countries. In September, Merck and the Wellcome Trust announced a new collaboration to develop vaccines for poor countries, aimed in part at modifying vaccines to eliminate the need for the so-called 'cold chain'—the temperature-controlled supply chain of storage and delivery facilities that aims to keep vaccines at a widely-agreed 2 to 8 degrees Celsius all the way from the factory floor to remote health clinics. Smaller companies are also active in this research area. Aktiv-Dry, based in Boulder, Colorado, has created a stable dry powder formulation of the hepatitis B vaccine that can be stored at temperatures from 66 Celsius to minus 20 Celsius without loss of potency ...

malaria is caused by bacteria :: Article Creator Researchers Discover Class Of Anti-malaria Antibodies A novel class of antibodies that binds to a previously untargeted portion of the malaria parasite could lead to new prevention methods, according to a study from researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) published in Science. The most potent of the new antibodies was found to provide protection against malaria parasites in an animal model. The researchers say antibodies in this class are particularly promising because they bind to regions of the malaria parasite not included in current malaria vaccines, providing a potential new tool for fighting this dangerous disease. Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by Plasmodium parasites, which are spread through the bites of infected mosquitoes. Although malaria is not common in the United States, its global impact is devastating, with 263 million cases and 597,000 deaths estimated by...

travel vaccine :: Article Creator Mitch McConnell Warns RFK Jr. Against Effort To Undermine Polio Vaccines Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell issued an apparent warning Friday to Robert F. Kennedy, President-elect Donald Trump's pick to lead the Health and Human Services Department, after The New York Times reported that one of Kennedy's top advisers had filed petitions to revoke the approval of a polio vaccine and several other shots.  "Anyone seeking the Senate's consent to serve in the incoming Administration would do well to steer clear of even the appearance of association with such efforts," McConnell said in a statement. McConnell, a polio survivor, denounced efforts "to undermine public confidence in proven cures" like the polio vaccine. "The polio vaccine has saved millions of lives and held out the promise of eradicating a terrible disease. Efforts to undermine public confidence in proven cure...

plasmodium vivax is a :: Article Creator New Drug For Recurring Malaria A new drug to treat malaria has been given the green light by authorities in the United States. The medicine is specifically for the recurring form of malaria - caused by the parasite plasmodium vivax - which makes 8.5 million people ill each year. This type of malaria is a particular challenge to get rid of as it can remain dormant in the liver for years before reawakening many times. Scientists have described tafenoquine as a "phenomenal achievement." Regulators around the world will now look at the drug to see if they can recommend it for their populations. Relapsing illness Recurring malaria is the most common type of malaria outside Sub-Saharan Africa. Children can be particularly at risk, getting several bouts of malaria from a single bite, missing lots of school and getting weaker each time they get the disease. ...
