Discover how climate change, urbanization and lifestyle changes are fueling the rise of invasive mosquitoes.
Since 2022, bird flu has been infecting a wide variety of mammals. “You can find this trend around the world, almost anywhere you look,” says Thomas Gillespie, professor and chair of Emory’s Department of Environmental Sciences.
Emory disease ecologists show how deforestation in Costa Rica has disrupted natural systems, leading to outbreaks of rabies in cattle caused by the bite of vampire bats.
Emory scientists show how hidden infections of dengue fever, or cases of people who do not have symptoms, drive disease spread in an outbreak. These “super spreaders” are tied to a third of transmissions.
A Keck Foundation Award will allow Emory physicists Minsu Kim (left) and Justin Burton to explore how microbes adapt to living in the Earth’s atmosphere and the broader role that these organisms may play in the planet’s ecosystem.
New ancient DNA analyses provide the most complete genetic evidence to date for ancient Central American and South American migration routes, while also adding surprising twists in the story of early human settlement of South America.
An antibiotic sprayed on orchard crops to combat bacterial diseases slows the cognition of bumblebees and reduces their foraging efficiency, a laboratory study finds. Proceedings of the Royal Society B published the findings by scientists at Emory University and the University of Washington.
An Emory symposium highlighted the ways graduate students have been studying COVID-19 in the hospital and laboratory and modeling disease spread, along with staffing testing events, advising local communities and providing community service and education.
Ilya Nemenman was instrumental in Emory becoming a global leader in theoretical and modeling approaches to living systems. Now he has received one of the most prestigious recognitions for theoretical scientists in the prime of their research careers.
Emory University ranked 20th out of 796 U.S. universities according to the 2022 Wall Street Journal/Times Higher Education College Rankings, published Sept. 21.
New research led by Emory disease ecologist Thomas Gillespie shows that nearly half of the fecal samples from endangered wild chimpanzees contain bacteria that is resistant to a major class of antibiotics commonly used by people in the vicinity of the park.
NIAID has awarded Emory researchers a five-year, $11 million dollar grant to study heteroresistance, a stealthy form of antibiotic resistance that undermines the treatment of bacterial infections.
Emory College physicist Daniel Weissman, who specializes in building mathematical models to better understand the rapid evolution of pathogens, has been named a Sloan Research Fellow. The prestigious fellowship honors the most promising researchers working today.
