Mystery infections—persistent and unexplained illnesses—are a rising global health challenge, often delaying critical treatment as patients and clinicians search for answers. Today, advanced genetic ...

A cutting-edge genetic test can rapidly detect and identify almost any kind of disease-causing microorganism in the human body, whether it's a virus, bacteria, fungus or parasite, researchers say.

A recent study on the application of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) found that mNGS can achieve early detection of pathogens and accelerate the development of targeted anti-infection ...

Bioengineering professor and The Grainger College of Engineering’s Dean, Rashid Bashir, led a team of researchers in a project that’s resulted in new technology that offers rapid, highly sensitive ...

“Infectious diseases don’t respect borders,” says Khoa Thai, a clinical microbiologist at the Star-shl medical diagnostics laboratory in the Netherlands. To limit their spread, we need a globally ...

A genomic test developed at UC San Francisco to rapidly detect almost any kind of pathogen – virus, bacteria, fungus or parasite – has proved successful after a decade of use. The test has the ...

In this episode of Tiny Show and Tell Us, we hear from a listener who has Marfan syndrome and dive into the complexities of the disease. Then we talk about pathogens that eat — or infiltrate! — plant ...

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has launched a nationwide pathogen surveillance programme to improve monitoring of disease trends and outbreaks. The metagenomics Surveillance Collaboration and ...
