SAN FRANSISCO — Providers of inpatient care who have prescribing authority have a poor understanding of when to consult an allergist about penicillin allergies, according to results from a new survey.

Harini Sooryanarain, Subbiah Elankumaran Annual Review of Animal Biosciences 2015, 3: 347-73 The environmental drivers of influenza outbreaks are largely unknown. Despite more than 50 years of research, there are conflicting lines of evidence on the role of the environment in influenza A virus (IAV) survival, stability, and transmissibility. With the increasing and looming threat of pandemic influenza, it is important to understand these factors for early intervention and long-term control strategies. The factors that dictate the severity...
Mysterious New Mosquito-Borne Disease Found in Caribbean http://www.genengnews.com/gen-news-highlights/mysterious-new-mosquito-borne-disease-found-in-caribbean/81253208/ Physicians in Haiti and researchers from the University of Florida (UF) have stumbled upon a patient infected with a rare virus that until recently has been confined to small outbreaks in the Amazon.
