At Emergex, we believe that our T cell-priming set-point candidates have the potential to reduce the burden of infectious diseases around the world by priming individuals with durable and potent #Tcell responses that mimic the course of natural immunity and fight off invading pathogens.

Carbon dioxide is key to how long airborne viruses hang around in the air and, therefore, their likelihood of spreading. Opening a window may be a more scientific way to avoid the spread of respiratory viruses than first anticipated. https://lnkd.in/gdibRvru #Co2 #carbondioxide #bioscience #virus #biohealth #wellness

You may or may not know, but we are officially in the thick of COUGH AND SNEEZE SEASON - yes, that's COVID, Tuberculosis, RSV, & Flu! It's going around. But what if I told you that Farlite Solutons use UV light disinfection to kill viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens before they make people sick? Want to know more? Take a look at the article below. https://lnkd.in/g4MaVd5J

I was cleaning up some files on my personal computer when I found one of the nicest microscopy images I have ever generated in the lab while working with mosquito-borne viruses. Here in "A" you see a cryosection of a female Aedes aegypti mosquito highlighting in red, through fluorescence microscopy, its virus-infected gut cells, known to be the primary site of infection for a virus once it enters the body of the insect. Insert A shows infection at 7 days post-ingestion of an infectious blood meal containing the Chikungunya virus. insert B, imaged at 14 days post-ingestion of the same virus-infected bloodmeal, shows the thorax of a female mosquito highlighting in red the virus-infected salivary gland cells, known to be the last site of infection for this and many other mosquito-borne viruses before transmission to humans through a simple, itchy and efficacious bite!

Problem Transmissibility and transmission of respiratory viruses https://lnkd.in/gdf-UyjZ Sentence from this article: Respiratory viruses can be transmitted via four major modes of transmission: direct (physical) contact, indirect contact (fomite), (large) droplets and (fine) aerosols. NIH News in Health Clearing the Air All About Airborne Viruses https://lnkd.in/gFq3qeJ8. Paragraph from this article: Dr. Donald Milton, who studies airborne viruses at the University of Maryland, recently measured how often virus is exhaled by people with the flu. He found that about 80% exhaled some influenza, the virus that causes flu. Most of the virus was found in the tiny airborne aerosols. People didn’t have to cough or sneeze to expel these viruses into the air. The flu virus was detectable in the air after normal breathing and talking.   Solution FAR-UV Sterilray(Far UV) matches the resonant frequency of the molecular bonds on the outside of all microbes. The 222nm light destroys all known microbes by literally making them explode. Destroys all known viruses, bacteria and spores. ALL known or future SARS-CoV 2 variants and all antimicrobial resistant pathogens! Dry chemical free disinfection. Pathogens will not be able to become resistant due to the higher photon energy of 222nm. 222nm breaks chemical bonds, it does not create dimers like UVC 254. No reactivation can occur.  Bonus Benefit: No masks needed: Sterilray provides better protection than everybody wearing an N95 mask. www.fes-uv.com #222nm #sterilray #flu #cleanindoorair #rsv  

In this symposium, Nancy Woychik, Hann Ng, Sean Li, and Rich Marconi will highlight how they examine, fight, and prevent infections induced by ever-changing bacterial and viral pathogens. In humanity’s fight against infectious diseases, pathogens continue to evolve new mechanisms to evade their killing through antimicrobials and vaccine-induced immunity. To combat these microbes, scientists must develop new approaches. 📅 February 14, 2024 @ 9:30AM ET Register today: https://ow.ly/5exs50QqpW6

UV rays, specifically ultraviolet (UV) light in the UV-C range, have been known to have germicidal properties, meaning they can inactivate or destroy microorganisms like viruses and bacteria. The effect of UV rays on the influenza virus, which causes the flu, has been studied to some extent. Here are some key points regarding the impact of UV rays on the influenza virus: Surface Disinfection: UV-C light can be applied to disinfect surfaces where the influenza virus may be present. This is relevant in healthcare settings, laboratories, and public spaces where surfaces can serve as fomites for the transmission of the virus.

This global technical consultation report brings together viewpoints from experts spanning a range of disciplines with the key objective of seeking consensus regarding the terminology used to describe the transmission of pathogens through the air that can potentially cause infection in humans.
