Mono infection associated with threefold higher multiple sclerosis risk Having the disease infectious mononucleosis, often called mono, caused by the Epstein-Barr virus is associated with an increased risk of developing multiple sclerosis (MS), according to a study published on April 1, 2026, in Neurology® Open Access, an official journal of the American Academy of Neurology. The Epstein-Barr virus is a herpes virus that is extremely common but causes no symptoms in most people. However, when a person contracts the virus as a teenager or adult, it can lead to mononucleosis. The Epstein-Barr virus is the most common cause of mono. The study does not prove that mono caused by the Epstein-Barr virus causes MS; it only shows an association. "These results highlight the need for further research into ways to prevent infection with the Epstein-Barr virus," said study author Jennifer L. St. Sauver, PhD, of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. "Preventing these infections could reduce the overall burden of MS. While MS is relatively rare, it carries the risks of significant disability and high treatment costs, and it usually develops when people are in their prime years of working and raising families." For the study, researchers examined more than two decades of health care records to find people...

Acinetobacter baumannii’s lifestyle includes soil-dwelling colonization of decaying plant material and airborne spread - Nature Communications Little is known about the ecology and evolution of the nosocomial pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii outside the hospital. Here, Wilharm et al. show that the lifestyle of A. baumannii includes soil-dwelling and airborne dissemination, which helps to explain its adaptability and predisposition to establish within hospitals.

Natural peptide in sweat may help block flu infection before symptoms start A naturally produced peptide found in sweat, saliva, tears, and the nasopharynx may help stop influenza before it takes hold, offering a promising new path toward antivirals that target conserved viral weak points with less risk of resistance. A research team led by the Fisabio Foundation has demonstrated that dermcidin, a constitutively produced antimicrobial peptide, also exhibits antiviral activity against the influenza virus. The study also shows that people who do not develop flu-like symptoms have higher baseline levels of this molecule, which could be associated with lower susceptibility to infection. Researchers from CIBERESP, the Institute of Biomedicine of Valencia (IBV-CSIC), and CIBERER, the Institute of Research, Development and Innovation in Healthcare Biotechnology of Elche (IDiBE) of the University Miguel Hernández, the University of Valencia, and Margarita Salas Biological Research Center (CIB-CSIC), among other national and international centers,s have also contributed to the study. "Dermcidin, which is present in sweat and known for its antibacterial and antifungal activity, also exhibits antiviral activity against the influenza virus and can interfere with infection, as we have observed in in vitro and in vivo models", explains Dr. María D. Ferrer, Miguel Servet researcher and head of the Antimicrobial Peptides and Glycobiology group at...

T cell adaptation in chronic infections and tumors Persisting infections, e.g., those involving human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV), as well as tumors, represent major health burdens [1, 2]. T cells are key determinants of the outcome and pathogenesis of these diseases and represent promising therapeutic targets, e.g., in ICB therapy. Chronic antigen exposure and stimulation associated with persistent infections and tumors drive the redirection and adaptation of T cell differentiation and effector function toward restrained and exhausted states rather than toward durable effector or memory fates. Concomitantly, suppressive networks, e.g., those involving regulatory T cells, myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), inhibitory cytokines, and metabolic checkpoint pathways, reinforce this skewing of T cell differentiation [20,21,22]. While T cell adaptation to chronic stimulation favors viral persistence and tumor progression, it also limits overwhelming immunopathology and ensures the maintenance of residual T cell immunity, partly controlling viral replication and restraining tumor growth [23]. The physiological relevance of T cell adaptation to persisting stimulation is supported by the fact that T cell populations capable of ameliorating chronic antigen exposure are preemptively formed during the acute phase, enabling the immune system to adapt to differential outcomes of immune threats [24,25,26]. Notably, T cell adaptation programs appear...

Parasites trigger a gut-to-brain signal that cuts food intake during infection A new Nature study shows how parasite-driven inflammation in the gut activates a tuft cell to serotonin to vagus nerve pathway, helping explain why infection can suppress appetite. Study: Parasites trigger epithelial cell crosstalk to drive gut–brain signalling. Image Credit: Chizhevskaya Ekaterina / Shutterstock In a recent study published in the journal Nature, a group of researchers investigated how intestinal epithelial cells interact to trigger gut-brain signaling and changes in food intake during parasitic infections. Did you know that gut infections can influence how much you eat or even how you feel? The gastrointestinal tract acts as a sensory system that detects harmful stimuli and communicates with the brain. Specialized epithelial cells, such as enterochromaffin (EC) cells and tuft cells, are important in sensing irritants and parasites. EC cells release serotonin (5-HT), which activates nerve pathways linked to pain and nausea, while tuft cells detect parasites and initiate immune responses. However, how these cells coordinate to influence brain signaling remains unclear. Further research is needed to explain how the gut-brain connection influences feeding-related responses during infection. Tuft Cell and EC Cell Study Design The study used a combination of cellular, molecular, and animal-based experimental approaches to examine communication between intestinal...

What to know about shingles, a painful infection that vaccination can prevent NBA star Tyrese Haliburton was recently diagnosed with shingles. The news drew attention to an illness that many people rarely talk about but is far more common than many realize. In Canada, 130,000 people develop shingles each year. The infection can cause a painful rash and, for some, long-lasting pain that can affect their quality of life for months. Yet shingles cases are also largely preventable through vaccination. Despite the availability of a highly effective vaccine, fewer than four in 10 Canadian adults aged 50 and older report having received the shingles vaccine. As researchers focused on aging and vaccination at Toronto Metropolitan University’s National Institute on Ageing, we study vaccine-preventable diseases, vaccination policies and opportunities to improve prevention in Canada. What is shingles? Shingles, also known as herpes zoster, is an infection that typically appears as a painful rash with blisters. The virus responsible for shingles is the same virus that causes chickenpox. After a chickenpox infection, the virus remains in the body and can reactivate when the immune system weakens due to aging, health conditions or certain treatments. People who received the chickenpox vaccine can also develop shingles, but the risk is much lower. Symptoms often begin with...
