It is commonly accepted that insects could possibly be a mechanical vector for transferring pathogens. Especially now larvae ...

While toilet bowls are designed such that the contents are supposed to flush downward, scientists have known for decades that ...

The team hoped to include more samples to obtain a clearer picture of the pathogen’s entry and eventual transmission. Since most of their plant samples are from California, the researchers aim to ...

it should help scientists to improve predictive models for respiratory disease transmission in indoor environments, and could even inform the design of masks and ventilation systems that mitigate the ...

This strategy is particularly vital for places like live-bird markets, where the risk of pathogen transmission from animals to animals and from animals to humans (zoonotic spillover) is very high.

Scientists discovered genes in the tuberculosis bacterium that becomes essential for the pathogen's survival when it's exposed to air through coughing. These genes could be targets for new therapies ...

are both respiratory pathogens but they differ significantly in their virology, transmission dynamics and public health impact. Similarities include their modes of transmission — both spread ...

We live in an era when human activities are negatively modifying the world at alarming rates. We are experiencing a massive ...
