Mosquito-borne diseases cause significant public health burden and are widely re-emerging or emerging. Understanding, predicting, and mitigating the spread of mosquito-borne disease in diverse populations and geographies are ongoing modelling challenges. We propose a hybrid network-patch model for the spread of mosquito-borne pathogens that accounts for individual movement through mosquito habi...

Immunosuppression has historically cost the poultry industry in increased mortality and in performance factors during rearing. In addition, immunosuppression has had a negative impact on the ability of the poultry industry to process chickens due to associated health problems. Industry strategies for controlling immunosuppression are not consistent between broiler companies. The broiler industr...

Since the 19th century, there have been sporadic attempts to attribute the changes of aging to one or another endocrine deficit and efforts to reverse these changes by various replacement therapies. This search for a hormonal 'fountain of youth' continues today.

A recent study has identified the variation in the ADAM33 gene as an important risk factor for asthma. This is not only good news for asthma sufferers, suggesting new directions for diagnostics and treatment, but also provides encouragement that unravelling the genetics of common diseases may not be quite as hard as had been feared.
