 | | |  Heavy rainfall and flooding raise infectious disease risks across Europe A rapid review of 14 studies found that heavy rainfall and flooding were associated with outbreaks and increased incidence of several infectious diseases across Europe, particularly campylobacteriosis and leptospirosis. The authors highlighted major evidence gaps and called for stronger One Health surveillance, public health communication, sanitation, and flood-response planning. | | | | |  New vaccination approach turns mosquito bites into immunity boosters Researchers from WEHI (Melbourne, Australia) have discovered a new way to help prevent malaria that could one day transform mosquito bites from a source of deadly infection into immunity boosters against the disease. | |

| | | | |  Researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Institute for Global Health and Infectious Diseases, the Ethiopian Public Health Institute (EPHI), Brown University, the University of Notre Dame, and Ethiopia's Ministry of Health have found that malaria parasites carrying genetic markers associated with resistance to frontline antimalarial medicines and commonly used diagnostic tests are becoming increasingly prevalent across... | | | | |  Black people in Canada who want to donate blood face barriers to doing so, despite a critical need for specific blood types to treat sickle cell disease, according to new research published in CMAJ. | | | | |  The complete genome for the tuberculosis bacterium was sequenced and published in 1998. Since then, scientists have deciphered about two-thirds of TB's genes. Or have they? | | | | |  Natural products are supporting modern drug discovery through advances in AI, multi-omics and high-throughput screening. | | | | |  Heme, a bioactive form of iron, has numerous essential functions in the cell. As a key component of hemoglobin, it enables oxygen transport in the blood. | | | | |  Researchers searching for genetic clues to the growing problem of malaria drug resistance identified new mutations associated with the parasite's decreased susceptibility to current treatment. | | | | |  A study reveals how targeting specific protein regions in malaria vaccines could enhance efficacy, potentially saving more lives in vulnerable populations. | |
