The pandemic has highlighted the need to make changes in the design of cruise ships to prevent viruses and germs from spreading and infecting thousands of people on board

“Neuroinflammation in Alzheimer’s disease might be partially caused by viral, bacterial and fungal pathogens entering the brain through the nose and the olfactory system”

Multiple sclerosis, an autoimmune disease that affects 2.9 million people, presents a biological puzzle.

Also, in addition to patients who carry the HIV virus, omicron could also come from people suffering from other forms of immunodeficiency, said the immunologist of the German Society for Immunology, Carsten Watzl.

Known as chronic wasting disease, the fatal progressive neurodegenerative illness was first identified in the 1960s. Like mad cow, the disease is spread by prions, the zombie-like pathogenic proteins that aren't alive and can't be killed. When they infect an animal, they eat away at its brain, causing a cascade of symptoms that resemble dementia and eventually lead to death.
