  • The Center for Pathogen Research and Training (CPRT) focuses on new technology development, fundamental investigations, clinical translation, student training, service and outreach to communities. (uml.edu)
  • This research didn't start with the goal of seeing what happened when you applied anticancer drugs to plants. (frontiersin.org)
  • Although clinical and research microbiology agents), as defined by DHHS, or certain animal and plant laboratories might contain dangerous biologic, chemical, and pathogens or toxins (i.e., high-consequence pathogens), as radioactive materials, to date, only a limited number of defined by USDA. (cdc.gov)
  • The GAO report also noted that many of the labs using high-risk pathogens for research belong to either CDC or the USDA, and recommended that Congress consider setting up a fully independent oversight body to remove potential conflicts of interest. (medscape.com)
  • Not the biggest surprise, perhaps, since she's a bona fide U.S. Department of Agriculture plant pathologist. (sciencenews.org)

  • Plant Viruses As Molecular Pathogens is the only book to bring you all of this information--22 chapters--in a single volume, compiled by specialists around the globe! (routledge.com)
  • This report describes occupational exposure to animals infected with the RB51 strain and emphasizes the need for surveillance of unintentional exposure of humans to RB51 to assess outcomes of such exposures. (cdc.gov)
  • These pathogens don't merely contaminate vegetables, biologists are finding, but colonize plants using some of the same mechanisms they employ to infect animals. (sciencenews.org)
  • But what about the additional traits a pathogen might need to survive in a new host? (sciencedaily.com)
  • There may be some pathogens that survive, either because they are heat resistant or they get introduced at a later stage,' Mao said. (news-medical.net)
