    Broader antibiotic use could change the course of cholera outbreaks, research suggests

    Cholera kills thousands of people and infects hundreds of thousands every year — and cases have spiked in recent years, leaving governments with an urgent need to find the best ways to control outbreaks.

    Current public health guidelines discourage treating cholera with antibiotics in all but the most severe cases, to reduce the risk that the disease will evolve resistance to the best treatments we have.

    But recent disease modeling research from University of Utah Health challenges that…

    Once bitten, animals develop resistance that shrinks tick population

    Just in time for tick season, new research is shining a light on how animals develop resistance to tick bites, which points toward the possibility of developing more effective vaccines against the tiny, disease-carrying bloodsuckers.

    In a study of “acquired tick resistance” among deer mice, rabbits and cattle, researchers at Washington State University found that once host animals were exposed to ticks, they developed resistance to bites that dramatically shrank the tick population going…

    Australia’s recent move to lower the starting age for bowel (colorectal) cancer screening from 50 down to 45 years old will mean better outcomes — but it will also increase the burden on an already struggling healthcare system, warn Flinders University researchers.

    They predict that the expanded screening program will likely lead to an influx of younger adults who will require ongoing surveillance with regular colonoscopies, prompting the team to review current clinical guidelines for at…
