The re-emergence of scarlet fever poses a new global public health threat. The capacity of North-East Asian serotype M12 (emm12) Streptococcus pyogenes (group A Streptococcus, GAS) to cause scarlet fever has been linked epidemiologically to the presence of novel prophages
A widespread G2P[4] rotavirus epidemic in rural and remote Australia provided an opportunity to evaluate the performance of Rotarix and RotaTeq rotavirus vaccines, ten years after their incorporation into Australia's National Immunisation Program.
The mutant Der p 2 had altered structure and reduced ability to stimulate pro-inflammatory responses and to bind IgE
There is a marked shift in innate and adaptive immune responses in Chinese immigrants after living in a Western environment for several years
Recent studies with synthetic peptides representing allergens and non-allergenic house dust mite proteins now offer new research avenues on HDM induced immune responses
The completeness of the coverage of a genome assembly is a critical starting point for all genomic projects so considerable attention is given to the sequencing metrics, which showed high indicators of success.
Nutrition is one of the most easily modifiable environmental factors during early life that may play a role in allergic disease prevention.

Allergic diseases are characterized by excessive immunoglobulin E (IgE) production, mast cell degranulation, tissue eosinophilia and mucus hypersecretion
Characterization of the complete IgE binding spectrum of cat allergens is important for the development of improved diagnosis and effective immunotherapeutics.
