A breath test that can detect SARS-CoV-2 in less than a minute has been developed by researchers.

Biofilms are highly resistant communities of bacteria that pose a major challenge in the treatment of infections.

A study of emerging diseases in the fast-growing capital city of Nairobi shows that pathogens may be more likely to jump from animals to humans in parts of the city with high densities of people, livestock and urban-adapted wildlife such as rats.

The removal of the habitat of a parasite-carrying snail has been shown to reduce the level of infection in the community while also providing feed and compost for farmers, in a trial in Senegal.

Scientists found a new class of molecules that inhibit the efflux pump and make the antibiotic effective again.

Scientists have found that a rise in core body temperature to 39°C, and above, from two hours of exercise in hot conditions can predict the onset of gut damage and the movement of pathogens from the gut into the bloodstream

New research has identified a protective immune feature of T follicular helper cells that may be lacking in people with chronic worm infections.

Bioengineers have used artificial intelligence (AI) to bring molecules back from the dead.

In a mouse model of Crohn’s disease (CD), scientists from the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago injected neonatal cardiac-derived mesenchymal stem cells (nMSCs) directly into inflammatory lesions. The first-of-its-kind study may offer new treatment avenues for the debilitating illness.

Climate change could hasten the release of "time-travelling" pathogens from melting permafrost and ice that have been trapped for millennia, a new study suggests.
