Mosquitoes infected with the Wolbachia bacteria are unable to infect humans with diseases such as dengue, yellow fever, and possibly malaria. The bacteria the amount of productive eggs the mosquitoes can lay which makes passing along the bacteria difficult. To combat this the mosquitoes that are infected with the bacteria are also given a insecticide resistance gene. Because insecticide is a common preventative measure in parts of the world where the diseases are common, only those mosquitoes that are unable to spread disease would survive and pass along the bacteria.

Save your cash and keep your toothbrush after experiencing a sore throat. In the study 13 patients with strep, 14 with a sore throat, and 27 healthy participants brushed with a new toothbrush. After incubation in a lab only one brush tested positive for strep.

Research and statistical analysis has proven that the evolution of antibiotic resistance increases as the potency of the treatments becomes more intensive.

Colloid antibodies which are packing with a killing agent have been designed to recognize the specific shape of bacteria. After attachment of the colloid the killing agent that resides within is released.

Treatment of H5N1 infected cells with omega 3 fatty acids from fish oil as well as antiviral drugs showed a much higher survival rate after infection in test animals.

If this holds true I don't have to worry about getting sick in our apartment this summer.

Another support paper that talks about the use of OMVs to boost immune memory.

Our focus paper which focuses on the use of NPLs in place of aluminum hydroxide for vaccines.

One of our support papers for the presentation.

Scientists have discovered that the removal of the protein calpain can prevent the spread of infectious bacteria that have acquired immunity to antibiotics. Bacteria such as Listeria use the protein for growth and movement to different cellular compartments. The removal of calpain prevents bacterial movement which in turn inhibits growth.
