Vaccines against dangerous pathogens.
Dangerous pathogens are defined by the UK Health and Safety Executive's advisory committee as category 3 (those which cause severe human disease for which prophylaxis or therapy is usually available) or category 4 (as for category 3, but for which prophylaxis or therapy is not available). Research and development of vaccines for such pathogens is challenging, due to the safety constraints in th...
متن کاملGenetic evidence of illegal trade in protected whales links Japan with the US and South Korea
We report on genetic identification of 'whale meat' purchased in sushi restaurants in Los Angeles, CA (USA) in October 2009 and in Seoul, South Korea in June and September 2009. Phylogenetic analyses of mtDNA cytochrome b sequences confirmed that the products included three species of whale currently killed in the controversial scientific whaling programme of Japan, but which are protected from...
متن کاملGuarding against the most dangerous emerging pathogens.
Control of emerging infectious diseases will be difficult because of the large number of disease-causing organisms that are emerging or could emerge and the great diversity of geographic areas in which emergence can occur. The modern view of the evolution of pathogen virulence--specifically its focus on the tradeoff between costs and benefits to the pathogen from increased host exploitation--al...
متن کاملDNA Barcoding Identifies Illegal Parrot Trade.
Illegal trade threatens the survival of many wild species, and molecular forensics can shed light on various questions raised during the investigation of cases of illegal trade. Among these questions is the identity of the species involved. Here we report a case of a man who was caught in a Brazilian airport trying to travel with 58 avian eggs. He claimed they were quail eggs, but authorities s...
متن کاملAssassin bug requires dangerous ant prey to bite first
E3 ligase complex. Thalidomide redirects the E3 ligase activity of this complex, inhibiting autoubiquitylation whilst augmenting ubiquitylation and degradation of the B-cell-specific transcription factors IKZF1/3. The next decade is likely to witness the development of drugs targeting ubiquitin ligases at all levels of the conjugation cascade, as well as DUBs, for use in many areas of medicine....
