Capone and colleagues used molecular analysis techniques to study 10 ancient desiccated feces samples — also called ...

DNA analysis of 1,100 to 1,300-year-old dried human feces has provided insights into the pathogens that afflicted ancient ...

DNA recovered from 1,000-year-old dried feces indicates that intestinal infections from pinworm or Shingella may have plagued ...

DNA within dried feces dating from more than 1,000 years ago provides valuable insights into the pathogens that plagued ...

We present the complete genomes of two human pathogens, Bartonella quintana (1,581,384 bp) and Bartonella henselae (1,931,047 bp). The two pathogens maintain several similarities in being transmitted ...

A wave carrying plastic washes up in Thailand. For microbes in the ocean, floating plastic is a new potential ecosystem. And those microbes include pathogens that can make people sick. Mladen Antonov ...

A new way to map the spread and evolution of pathogens, and their responses to vaccines and antibiotics, will provide key insights to help predict and prevent future outbreaks. The approach combines a ...

When our body is attacked by a pathogen, the pathogen has to find ways to evade our immune system and invade our cells to cause infection and illness. Reporting in Cell, researchers have now ...

It has long been known that bacterial pathogens are becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics. However, common ...

They say water is life, and it does, indeed, sustain life on Earth. However, humans have not repaid the favor, which is set to cause irreversible damage to sea and human life alike. Plastic pollution ...
