Accounting for a host of often-overlooked drivers of transmission, a team of University of Kansas researchers has mapped Zika risk around the world with unprecedented resolution while considering more factors than previous models

Bacteria could present a “novel biological control mechanism,” aiding efforts to stop the spread of Zika virus

The Aedes aegypti mosquito will likely be increasingly abundant across much of the southern and eastern United States as the weather warm

New research just published has highlighted how El Niño could be transporting and spreading waterborne diseases like cholera thousands of miles, across oceans, with significant impacts for public health.

Computational modeling fills in potential gaps in transmission chains

Global effort produces first cross-species genomic analysis of Leptospira, a bacterium that can cause disease–and death–in targeted mammals, including humans

The next step, researchers said, is to understand how this technology might be useful in the wild.

RNA sequencing could help predict future outbreaks

Team also found genetic evidence that these mosquitoes have overwintered for at least the past four years

Oftentimes we don't prioritize animal health until it impacts on human health, which means we miss the opportunity to manage diseases at the source
