Malaria vaccines to moderate the impact of antibiotic resistance in endemic countries
J Med Microbiol. 2023 Jul;72(7). doi: 10.1099/jmm.0.001734.ABSTRACTSwift and widespread deployment of an efficient malaria vaccine in Pakistan, together with basic control and preventive measures, could significantly decrease the economic and healthcare burden caused by drug-resistant malaria. Moreover, the RTS,S/AS01 vaccine has provided a much needed breakthrough after decades of growth, as an innovative vaccine for malaria in phase 3 clinical trials and currently undergoing implementation studies. Vaccination is a potentially critical component of efforts to arrest the development and dissemination of antimicrobial resi...

Brigitte Askonas obituary
Immunologist whose work led to the development of many new vaccinesBrigitte Askonas, widely known as Ita, who has died aged 89, was one of the leading figures of modern immunology. She built on the work of the science's earlier pioneers, Louis Pasteur and Paul Ehrlich, by increasing understanding of the immune system as an intricate network of many cell types interacting and producing mediators to control their complex functions.The principal base for her work was the National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR), north-west London, which she joined in 1952. She spent 36 years there, the last 12 of them as head of the imm...

One Potential Medical Use For Algae - Edible Malarial Vaccine
Can scientists rid malaria from the Third World by simply feeding algae genetically engineered with a vaccine? That's the question biologists at UC San Diego sought to answer after they demonstrated last May that algae can be engineered to produce a vaccine that blocks malaria transmission. In a follow up study, published online in the scientific journal Applied and Environmental Microbiology, they got their answer: Not yet, although the same method may work as a vaccine against a wide variety of viral and bacterial infections...

The Behind the Headlines 2013's Top Five of Top Fives
As we move towards the end of the year, like all news sources, we fall back on that classic space filler – the list story. So without further ado, here is the official Behind the Headlines Top Five of Top Fives stories of 2013.
The top five "Good work team!" stories of the year
We can often get bogged down in pointing out dodgy sub-group analyses, spurious extrapolations of samples sizes containing just four men and a dog, and RCTs pointing out the benefits of chocolate on blood pressure that turned out to be funded by a chocolate-making conglomerate. So it's important not to lose sight of the fact that ther...

Scientists predict dengue risk for Brazil World Cup
Conclusion
This is a valuable study that predicts the likely risk of dengue fever in Brazil during the 2014 World Cup. In general, it predicts there is a low risk of dengue in the main host cities (fewer than 100 cases predicted per 100,000 inhabitants).
However, it is important to remember that this model can give estimates only and the quality of the model relies on the existing dengue dataset.
As the researchers say, this depends on surveillance systems in every geographic area to detect, report, investigate and perform specific laboratory tests to confirm the diagnosis of dengue cases. There could be under-reporting,...

New blood test for viral infections shows promise
Conclusion
This research has developed a test that is able to identify past viral infections using a small sample of blood, giving an insight into a person's history of viral infections. The test could theoretically be expanded to cover other types of organisms that cause human disease, such as bacteria.
No test is perfect, however, and there were some cases where a known infection was not identified (false negative) and where an infection was picked up that was not thought to have really occurred (false positive). The test detects antibodies generated in response to viruses as the result of vaccination.
Antibody response...
