    Interesting study on the possibility of using the Newcastle disease virus to treat prostate cancer. They modified the virus so that it replicates only in the presence of an active prostate-specific antigen. There are only mild side effects in humans although this is a fatal disease in domestic birds (I remember one of the former companies I worked for working on this vaccine for birds).

    London could be hit by a "very large outbreak" of measles because so few young people are vaccinated, according to the country's immunisation chief. In some of the capital's boroughs, more than half of children in some age groups have not been fully vaccinated against the disease.

    Researchers have recently found a novel mode of interaction between Salmonella, a foodborne pathogen, and the bacteria that live in our guts. Fecal bacteria collected from healthy donors effectively inactivated Salmonella, when they were allowed close contact. Mathematical modelling of this interaction is now being used to find new ways of controlling Salmonella.
