WILMINGTON, Del., Jan. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ The Center for the Biology of Chronic Disease (CBCD) announces an important discovery on the cause of Parkinson s diseases. The discovery shows how many common latent viruses, which infect the central and peripheral nervous systems, can cause Parkinson s disease (1). Latent viruses are hidden in the body in a way that most individuals don t know that they are infected. The discovery was published in the
Journal of NeuroVirology. More details are available at: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33405201/.
Microcompetition Model: Book
The discovery was made possible by using the microcompetition model. The model uncovered new relationships between seemingly unrelated observations reported in the scientific literature. The discovery describes the molecular steps that lead from a latent infection to the clinical symptoms of Parkinson s disease. Many common viruses can cause the disease.
