Global warring

Climate change, and the resulting shortage of ecological resources, could be to blame for armed conflicts in the future, according to David Zhang from the University of Hong Kong and colleagues. Their research, which highlights how temperature fluctuations and reduced agricultural production explain warfare frequency in eastern China in the past, has been published online in Springer's journal Human Ecology.

1. Blood Transfusion-transmitted Infections: A Global Perspective
   09-30-2006 · ScienceDaily
   Thanks to the many blood-safety interventions introduced since 1984, the overall risk for most transfusion-transmitted infections has become exceedingly small. In the September 28 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, Canadian medical experts put into perspective the continuing risk of transfusion-transmitted infections as well as the possible safety interventions that might reduce that risk even further, particularly those due to emerging agents including variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) the human counterpart to mad cow disease.

5. Genetic map offers new tool for malaria research
   12-10-2006 · EurekAlert!
   An international research team has created a genome-wide map that charts the genetic variability of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. The study reveals striking variation within the pathogen's genome, and lays the foundation for dissecting the functions of important parasite genes and for tracing the global spread of malaria. Already, the tool has helped to unearth novel genes that may underlie resistance to current drugs against malaria.
