Most vaccines don’t come as one-shot deals. You need a series of boosters to optimize your immunity to COVID-19, tetanus, and other infectious threats over time. That can mean multiple visits with a healthcare provider, costing you time and sometimes money. But what if you could receive just one shot that boosts itself whenever you need a bump in protection?

According to the authors of new research, their study is the first to use the ‘outsurvival statistic’ to quantify the probability of men living longer than women across multiple populations over time. Their analysis of hundreds of populations over 200 years showed that a fraction of men—between one and two men out of four—outlive a randomly paired woman. The probability […]

The Eastern Mediterranean and Near East regions experienced significant societal changes during the late 3rd millennium Before Common Era (BCE). Recent archaeological studies strongly indicate the influence of prior infectious diseases on societal trajectories. For example, the incidence of Yersinia pestis, which causes the plague, and Salmonella enterica, which causes typhoid/enteric fever, was responsible for the most destructive historic pandemics. Study: Ancient Yersinia pestis and […]

Researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago are working with the National Institutes of Health and researchers from across the country to establish a center for antiviral drug development for pandemic-level viruses, including Ebola and SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The center, called the Midwest Antiviral Drug Discovery Center, is led by the University of Minnesota and is part […]

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) – South Africa’s Aspen Pharmacare will stop making COVID-19 vaccines from the end of this month due to a lack of orders, a senior executive said, further undermining Africa’s already meager capacity to produce doses.
