Host Microbe Interactions News Today

Avian flu is highly contagious, can be lethal, and it has the potential to spread to humans.

Metabolic health (normal blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol levels, among other factors) influences the effectiveness of influenza vaccinations. Vaccination is known to be less effective in people with obesity compared to those with a healthier body mass index (BMI), but St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have found it is not obesity itself, but instead metabolic dysfunction, which makes the difference.

We compared the effect of four carotenoid supplementation regimes during ...
