Viruses and bacteria can be pathogens, but there are also other types of pathogens. Every single living thing, even bacteria themselves, can get infected with a pathogen. The world is full of ...

A research team at the University of Münster has investigated for the first time how the confrontation of bacteria with hosts ...

A genomic test developed at UC San Francisco to rapidly detect almost any kind of pathogen—virus, bacteria, fungus or parasite—has proved successful after a decade of use. The test has the ...

White blood cells circulate in the blood and lymphatic vessels, looking for pathogens. When they find one, they begin to multiply and send signals to other cell types to do the same. The lymphatic ...

Two Chinese citizens are accused of smuggling into the U.S. a fungus that causes Fusarium head blight in wheat and other ...

Vector-borne diseases cause roughly 700,000 deaths worldwide every year. Vectors can carry different types of pathogens, including viruses and bacteria. Tropical and subtropical regions report ...

Rather than looking for one type of pathogen at a time, mNGS analyzes all the nucleic acids, RNA and DNA, that are present in a sample. Our technology is deceptively simple. By replacing multiple ...

It uses a powerful genomic sequencing technique, called metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS). Rather than looking for one type of pathogen at a time, mNGS analyzes all the nucleic acids, RNA ...

The mNGS test takes a bare-knuckled approach to analysis. Rather than looking for single types of pathogen one by one, the test analyzes all RNA and DNA that are present in a sample, then ...
