"Ours is the only lab currently studying this family of kinases in Toxoplasma," Gaji said. Six of these proteins are predicted to be essential for parasite growth, and his team has already shown that at least two control vital processes in the parasite's nucleus.
This represents a treasure trove of drug targets. While other researchers focus on obvious pathways, Gaji has carved out a ...

The Great Plague of Athens
Benjamin Carr, Ph.D. 👨🏻💻🧬#BrownUniversity’s #Pandemic Center studies #pandemics, and the #US resurgence of #measles is a grim sign of what’s coming
Low levels of #vaccination across the country mean measles #outbreaks will continue to occur, needlessly hospitalizing and killing the unvaccinated. But beyond these harms, the disease’s resurgence serves as a serious warning about the country’s capacity to manage #infectiousdisease threats of all kinds.

Viral kinetics offer critical insights into the biology and epidemiology of infections. However, our understanding of viral kinetics has so far been largely based on retrospective analyses of convenience samples using ...
Stephen Kissler - Integrating viral kinetics into routine outbreak surveillance: COVID-19 lessons
Rachel Lowe (Barcelona Supercomputing Center) explores the evaluation of climate-sensitive disease forecasts, drawing on experience in co-creating disease risk forecasting tools with interdisciplinary teams in diverse settings.
She outlines methodological approaches for integrating climate data with epidemiological modelling to predict outbreaks of diseases such as dengue and leptospirosis, as well as challenges

Recent Pandemic Viruses Jumped to Humans Without Prior Adaptation, UC San Diego Study Finds
There is no evolutionary signal suggesting that these viruses were being “pre-adapted” for humans prior to their outbreaks. Instead, measurable changes in selection typically appeared only after sustained transmission began in people.
"Think water? Think Lepto."
What were these doctors thinking? Should insurance companies make an ID consult mandatory?
