A recent study published in Microbial Genomics analyzed the molecular evolution of the variola virus (VARV)

The researchers hope these findings will settle a longstanding controversy and provide new insight into the history of one of humanity’s deadliest diseases.

Researchers from the Quadram Institute and the University of East Anglia have uncovered how resistance has helped drive the emergence of dominant strains of Salmonella.

Superbugs kill 35,000 people a year on the continent, with drug resistant pathogens a ‘slow and silent pandemic’ too often ignored

When these worms are munching Styrofoam, they apparently sound like a bowl of Rice Krispies cereal just after the milk is poured on.

These are bacteria like youve never seen before -- likely because, until now, all known bacteria could only be seen using a powerful compound microscope.

A plump larva the length of a paper clip can survive on the material that makes Styrofoam. The organism, commonly called a "superworm," could transform the
