New strategy could describe outbreak strains rapidly
sea-maid submitted, created time 6 months 3 weeks (www.genome.org)
This report, which is published online in Genome Research, demonstrates a new approach using next-generation sequencing technology to identify unique genetic properties of a potential outbreak strain quickly. High-throughput sequencing technology and the comparative genomic analysis strategy outlined in this work have significantly decreased the time required for characterization of an outbreak strain. 
TB-scarred Homo erectus skull found in Turkey
Darkfrog submitted, created time 11 months 1 week (www3.interscience.wiley.com)
The article discusses the way in which TB affected migrating populations. According to the article, examination of this skull supports the idea that as dark-skinned hominids moved into areas where the sun was less intense, they found themselves deficient in vitamin D, which affected their bones and immune systems.
It also got a writeup in the New York Times.

Researchers have created the first evolutionary history of the duplications in the human genome that are partly responsible for both disease and recent genetic innovations. This work marks a significant step toward a better understanding of what genomic changes paved the way for modern humans, when these duplications occurred and what the associated costs are - in terms of susceptibility to disease-causing genetic mutations.

Research on the DNA of 15 mouse strains commonly used in biomedical studies is expected to help scientists determine the genes related to susceptibility to environmental disease.
Malaria-resistant mosquitoes battle disease with 'molecular warhead'

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has discovered why some mosquitoes are resistant to malaria, a finding that may one day help fight a disease that afflicts and kills millions of people.
Washington court will hear autism vaccine suits

Although scientists have produced strong evidence that the vaccines are not linked to the disease -- a very vocal group of people remains unconvinced. Now a special court that will pit scientists against activists in the debate over whether vaccines have caused autism in many children begins hearings on Monday with the first test case, involving a 12-year-old Arizona girl.

"According to the experts from different endemic countries present, the financial and social burdens of CL are high, but they have limited quantitative data. The analysis of published trials indicates that the quality of most trials is poor and requires both improvement and standardization. The available drugs are inadequate. Criteria by which different CL types could be prioritized as target disease were set
Outbreak Kills 250,000 Fish at Hatchery
newsdigg submitted, created time 1 year 6 months (www.livescience.com)
About 250,000 rainbow trout died in a sudden disease outbreak at a southwestern Idaho fish hatchery, a loss of about 8 percent of Idaho's annual output of catchable-sized trout. It was the second such outbreak of ichthyophthirius multifilis in as many years at the state Department of Fish and Game hatchery in Nampa. Officials say it likely resulted when stress from overcrowding weakened the fish, making them more susceptible to the parasite.
Scientists: Climate and health research needed

Some genes raise one's risk of Crohn's disease
angelfish submitted, created time 1 year 7 months (www.abc.net.au)
According the new study ,the researchers scanned the entire genome - all 22,000 genes - of about 6,000 people. About half had Crohn's disease and half did not.the findings showed genetics play a crucial role in the disease, an inflammatory bowel disease caused by a faulty response in the immune system, although environmental factors also are involved. For example, smoking raises one's risk.

"Limited published data exist evaluating the efficacy of CCM components in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease management. However, pooled data demonstrated that patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who received interventions with 2 or more CCM components had lower rates of hospitalizations and emergency/unscheduled visits and a shorter length of stay compared with control groups. The results of this review highlight the need for well-designed trials in this population. "
Transgenic mosquitoes kill malaria -- but is this a Pandora's box?
Darkfrog submitted, created time 1 year 8 months (www.nature.com)
A team from Bloomberg and Johns Hopkins has successfully engineered a breed of mosquitoes that are completely resistant to the Plasmodium vivax parasite that causes malaria in humans. Experiments show that these mosquitoes, if released into the wild, would outcompete its natural brethren, possibly driving malaria into a much-needed extinction.
I'm a bit wary. Humans have tried to introduce animals into new environments before -- remember Bufo marinus? -- and it doesn't always work out so well
