Emerging Infectious Diseases at the Clinic-Clinical Lab-Research Lab Interface

Research Advances at Avi-lab

The Acquisition, Analysis, Visualization and Imaging laboratory, AVI-Lab, is at the Department of Life, Health and Environmental Sciences of the University of L’Aquila. It was established in 1995 and, since then, the research activity is mostly centred on the study, development and testing of algorithms for signal acquisition and processing, image reconstruction, enhancement, filtering, analysi...

Emerging infectious diseases: opportunities at the human-animal-environment interface.

EmErging infectious diseases (EiDs) range from novel zoonotic infections to infective organisms with new patterns of antimicrobial resistance. in the modern age, the speed at which infections can spread globally and transition into deadly pandemics means that surveillance must be able to monitor infections that have the potential to cause outbreaks and also to capture unknown threats that may e...

Translating Basic Research into Clinical Applications: Malaria Research at an NIH Lab

Malaria is a deadly disease caused by Plasmodium parasites with active transmission in nearly 100 countries. The parasites infect approximately 200 million people each year, killing over a half million patients. Although there is no active transmission in the United States, the US government and military have active research programs on malaria, including drug and vaccine development and variou...
