Modern diagnostic methods allow growers to detect pathogens earlier and identify disease pressure with far greater precision than traditional testing methods.

Mystery infections—persistent and unexplained illnesses—are a rising global health challenge, often delaying critical treatment as patients and clinicians search for answers. Today, advanced genetic ...

The COVID-19 pandemic brought the term "Polymerase Chain Reaction testing" into the mainstream. The PCR method is a type of nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) that detects a pathogen by finding ...

A cutting-edge genetic test can rapidly detect and identify almost any kind of disease-causing microorganism in the human body, whether it's a virus, bacteria, fungus or parasite, researchers say.

“Infectious diseases don’t respect borders,” says Khoa Thai, a clinical microbiologist at the Star-shl medical diagnostics laboratory in the Netherlands. To limit their spread, we need a globally ...

A recent study on the application of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) found that mNGS can achieve early detection of pathogens and accelerate the development of targeted anti-infection ...

In this episode of Tiny Show and Tell Us, we hear from a listener who has Marfan syndrome and dive into the complexities of the disease. Then we talk about pathogens that eat — or infiltrate! — plant ...
