A pair of scientists at The University of Texas at El Paso is one step closer to developing the first ever clinical Chagas disease vaccine. Researchers Rosa Maldonado, Ph.D., and Igor Almeida, Ph.D., both faculty in the Department of Biological Sciences, recently were granted a patent for “Mucin-Associated Surface Protein As Vaccine Against Chagas Disease.”
“Yarraman flu is a virus quickly infecting the US…” The mock announcement was enough to make readers worry. But when the name of the hypothetical illness was changed to “horse flu”, readers reported being less motivated to get a vaccine that would prevent them from contracting the illness. Based on a survey of 16,510 participants from 11 countries, the findings show that the way health information is communicated, matters. The multi-institutional investigation appeared in Emerging Infectious Diseases.
After several people in New York City were diagnosed with Legionnaire’s disease in less than two weeks, an expert at New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine (NYITCOM) urges people to take caution.
Southern Research scientists are investigating how the Zika virus is able to find a safe harbor in an infected host’s tissue and stage a rebound weeks after the virus was seemingly cleared by the immune system.
Three medical provider teams working with a variety of partners in urban and rural settings are using innovative payment and delivery system changes in an attempt to reduce disparities. Funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Finding Answers (http://www.solvingdisparities.org) program, they will detail their experiences at a June 26 panel at the Academy Health Annual Research Meeting in New Orleans, LA. @FndgAnswers
