Marking World Coral Reef Day on June 1, AMI’s Rachel Carson Prize winner Professor Raquel Peixoto reveals how the ability of corals to tolerate rising temperatures is determined by the type of microorganisms that live inside them.
Denmark has been offering free vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV) to girls since 2008. New data show vaccination has effectively reduced infections with cancerogenic HPV 16/18 types covered by the vaccine, indicating population immunity.
Researchers have used the platform developed for COVID-19 vaccines to create the world’s first mRNA-based vaccine against the deadly, antibiotic-resistant bacterium behind pneumonic plague.
In pre-clinical tests, compounds called batzelladins were found to be effective even against strains of Plasmodium that are resistant to conventional antimalarial drugs.
Rising toxins found in bowhead whales, harvested for subsistence purposes by Alaska Native communities, reveal that ocean warming is causing higher concentrations of algal toxins in Arctic food webs.
Rainfall can have dramatic effects on the microbial communities living in urban lakes, a new paper published in the Journal of Applied Microbiology reveals.
