A bacterial parasite can infiltrate the nuclei of deep-sea mussels, take control of the cell and reproduce to over 80,000 cells, all while the host is alive. Now, we know how. Researchers at the Max ...

Deep-sea Bathymodiolus mussels are found worldwide at hydrothermal vents and cold seeps. The mussels live in symbiosis with beneficial bacteria that provide them with nutrition. The mussels also have ...

Cahokia Heights residents are being exposed to bacteria and parasites possibly spreading because of chronic sewage backups and flooding in their community, preliminary findings from an ongoing health ...

Researchers have chanced upon a bacteria naturally present in the gut of mosquitoes that inhibits the growth of a parasite that causes the deadliest form of malaria. Unlikely to produce resistance, ...

Can’t figure out why you’ve been feeling off? If you’ve been dealing with fatigue, bloating, brain fog, or digestive drama, ...

Researchers have discovered a previously unknown mechanism by which bacteria share their genetic material through virus parasites. The insights could help scientists to better understand how bacteria ...

Doctors warn that the parasite cleanse trend misleads patients, causing health risks and delaying proper diagnosis of ...

Researchers use genetic manipulation to obtain new mechanistic insights into the epibiotic life cycle. Microbial dark matter is the genetic material identified in large-scale metagenomics studies that ...

The European Commission has named the labs that will lead work on bacteria, parasites, and viruses. The European Reference Laboratories (EURLs) are for food- and water-borne bacteria, food- and ...
