The Dangerous Expansion of Adult Vaccinations
Conclusion The vaccination comprises a misguided and unsafe national health care program which claims to prevent disease. Many significant health injuries are associated with vaccinating adults. Government resources are being spent researching and developing new and different vaccinations. Subjecting adults to more vaccinations is likely to cause more health injury and illness.

Translational repression of the cpw-wpc gene family in the malaria parasite Plasmodium
Publication date: Available online 14 June 2016 Source:Parasitology International Author(s): Pavitra N. Rao, Jorge M. Santos, Arnab Pain, Thomas J. Templeton, Gunnar R. Mair The technical challenges of working with the sexual stages of the malaria parasite Plasmodium have hindered the characterization of sexual stage antigens in the quest for a successful malaria transmission-blocking vaccine. One such predicted and largely uncharacterized group of sexual stage candidate antigens is the CPW-WPC family of proteins. CPW-WPC proteins are named for a characteristic domain that contains two conserved motifs, CPxxW and WP...

Staying Healthy While Traveling This Summer
As summer approaches and temperatures climb, travelers are planning trips to warm and tropical destinations, many of which have been affected by the Zika Virus. In addition to booking that plane ticket and reading up on local activities, it is critical that travelers learn how best to protect themselves from Zika and other mosquito-borne diseases including malaria. Zika, which has continued making global headlines since its recent resurgence, is a virus that spreads through either the bite of an infected Aedes aegypti mosquito or sexual transmission. This type of mosquito thrives in warmer climates and is found throughou...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, April 25th 2016
This study offers one useful data point, as the authors describe a genetic alteration that can boost the supply of new immune cells in old mice. The decline in that supply with age is one of the factors leading to poor immune function - and that means more than just vulnerability to infections, as the immune system is also responsible for destroying potentially cancerous and senescent cells, as well as clearing out forms of damaged proteins and unwanted metabolic waste. Various possibilities for increasing the number of new immune cells already exist in principle, such as regenerating the thymus, or cell therapies in which...

U.S. Scientists Are Starting From Ground Zero With The Zika Vaccine
As the research community gears up to address Zika virus, one common question has been why, if we’ve known about Zika since 1947, are we only starting these efforts in 2016? As Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, admitted, the disease is uncharted territory. "We, prior to this time, have really not spent anything on Zika,” he said during a press conference Thursday. Currently, there is no cure and no vaccine for the disease, and diagnosing the disease takes up to two weeks in specialized labs.  To ramp up research on the Zika virus threat, the...

A systematic review and meta-analysis on the safety of newly adjuvanted vaccines among children.
CONCLUSIONS: Our meta-analysis did not show any safety concerns in clinical trials of the newly adjuvanted vaccines in children ≤10 years of age. An unexplained increase of meningitis in one Phase III AS01-adjuvanted malaria trial and the link between narcolepsy and the AS03-adjuvanted pandemic vaccine illustrate that continued safety monitoring is warranted.

Two were flown home on the same flight as the infected worker and are now being monitored at the Royal Free. The others are being assessed in Sierra Leone. None of the four has been diagnosed with Ebola. The latest case follows that of Glasgow nurse Pauline Cafferkey, who was found to have Ebola after arriving in Glasgow from Sierra Leone in December 2014. She reco...

Ebola risk remains low after UK nurse recovers
The Scottish nurse found to have Ebola after arriving in Glasgow from Sierra Leone has recovered after specialist care at the Royal Free Hospital in London and has been discharged. She remains the only case confirmed in the UK, and the risk to the general public is very low. Ebola can be transmitted only by direct contact with the blood or bodily fluids of an infected person. The nurse, Pauline Cafferkey, had been working as a volunteer for Save the Children in Sierra Leone. She left Sierra Leone on December 28 and took flights from Freetown to Casablanca and from Casablanca to London. She then transferred at Heathrow t...

Ebola virus threat to the UK is 'very low'
Health news has been dominated in recent days by the outbreak of the Ebola virus in west Africa, with more than 1,200 confirmed cases and 672 deaths. Cases have been confirmed in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea. The World Health Organization estimates the current outbreak has a mortality rate of 56%. It is important to note there is currently no direct threat to people in the UK from the Ebola virus. Outbreaks of Ebola are nothing new, but health professionals are concerned about the size of the outbreak. The majority of cases are confined to rural areas, but there has been a reported case of a man infected with the vi...

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,...

What Treatment is Available for Malaria?
Discussion Malaria is a life-threatening yet preventable and curable disease caused by parasites. In humans, there are 4 species that cause malaria: Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium malariae,and Plasmodium ovale. Plasmodium falciparum is the most deadly and Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax are the most common. Plasmodium parasites are transmitted by bites from Anopheles mosquitoes from an infected human. The incubation period is 7-30 days. In 2012, it is estimated to have caused 627,000 deaths mostly among African children. Mortality rates have been decreasing but children, pregnant women, peop...
