Veterinary research in Cambridge is spearheading a new generation of preventive methods to protect livestock from disease.

Antibiotic resistant bacteria found in both humans and dairy cows.

Having diabetes in mid-life may reduce a person’s life expectancy by an average of six years, according to a large, multinational study coordinated by the University of Cambridge.

Scientists have identified a diabetes drug which halves the mortality rate of a deadly infectious disease found throughout Southeast Asia and Northern Australia.

Work in resource-restricted healthcare settings in south-east Asia is defining the transmission of hospital ‘superbugs’ using low-tech diagnostics and high-tech tools.

A ‘dipstick’ test that detects Hepatitis B within 30 minutes – and could be used in some of the world’s poorest countries – has been given the green light for use in the European Union.

The expertise of Cambridge's new Professor of Clinical Microbiology, Sharon Peacock, is helping to drive a programme of research that will track and block routes of transmission for superbugs.

A new multidisciplinary research programme aims to develop a single vaccine that will combat four major respiratory pathogens of pigs.

New research from Cambridge should help hospitals control the spread of MRSA and other emerging superbugs.

The common view has been that parasitic infections cause disease and must be eliminated. But can we live without them?
