Tracking disease outbreaks [PDF]
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2002 Scientists have come one step closer to tracking outbreaks of bartonellosis, a potentially fatal vector‐borne disease. Outbreaks of the disease, which was once thought to be found primarily in the high Andes Mountains of Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia, may be related to El Ni˜no events, according to researchers with NASA and the U.S.

Virus Enhanced Microrobots for Biofilm Eradication
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Biofilms resist antimicrobials across medicine, industry, and environments. We present virus‐conjugated microrobots synthesized hydrothermally and magnetically actuated. Their motion and viral specificity enable targeted binding, penetration, and delivery, outperforming bare microrobots.

The Stafford outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease [PDF]
Epidemiology and Infection, 1990 SUMMARYA large outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease was associated with Stafford District General Hospital. A total of 68 confirmed cases was treated in hospital and 22 of these patients died. A further 35 patients, 14 of whom were treated at home, were suspected cases of Legionnaires’ disease. All these patients had visited the hospital during April 1985.
