Pathogen

Not surprising, the most opportunistic industry in the whole world.

The virus that causes AIDS is the trickiest pathogen scientists have ever confronted.

The Commission on Human Rights continues to be distorted by opportunistic political factors.

Acknowledging the significance of HIV AIDS in the increase in tuberculosis and other opportunistic diseases,

This is crucial for facilitating children's access to antiretroviral therapy and treatment of opportunistic infections.

Acknowledging the significance of HIV AIDS in the increase in tuberculosis and other opportunistic infections,

You took a pathogen, you modified it, you injected it into a person or an animal and you saw what happened.

Members of the local Rajneeshpuram commune caused the outbreak by intentionally spraying the pathogen on the salad bars of local restaurants.

You know, if you're working with a pathogen, you're not part of the biohacker community, you're part of the bioterrorist community, I'm sorry.

Introducing an innocuous version of a pathogen into the body causes the immune system to produce antibodies, which will neutralize the wild pathogen if it enters the body later. A decade ago, my laboratory showed that an anti prion antibody could significantly delay and, in some cases, prevent infection in mice that had been exposed to prions.

But if the host needs to be mobile in order to transmit the pathogen, then it's the benign ones that tend to be the winners.

The panel noted that the current threats had changed, especially in the plant pathogen area, where the perceived threat has changed from large scale to small scale attacks.

(ii) Expanding access to treatment, in a progressive and sustainable manner, including the prevention and treatment of opportunistic diseases and the effective use of antiretroviral medication

So, if we have a population of a thousand people, and we want to make the population immune to a pathogen, we don't have to immunize every single person.

An eclectic mix of idealistic and opportunistic politicians and NGOs mobilized people against land acquisitions. With investigative journalists getting into the act, land acquisition became a political land mine.

The need to follow customers, neutralize competitors' strength, access low cost labour and take advantage of opportunistic investments in real estate, infrastructure or services projects are also specific reasons.

Otherwise, there is a risk that the new DDR process in Côte d'Ivoire, which involves large cash handouts, will draw opportunistic ex combatants from neighbouring Liberia and Sierra Leone.

Similarly, in the US, there is a lengthy list of specific exceptions to the prohibitions. But most natural pesticides as well as pathogen laden animal excreta, for use as fertilizer are permitted.

It could depend on the nature of the pathogen different pathogens, using this technique, you'd get different warning or other phenomena that are spreading, or frankly, on the structure of the human network.

If you look at the y axis of this graph, you'll see that, in the mechanically ventilated air, you have a higher probability of encountering a potential pathogen, or germ, than if you're outdoors.

(a) The availability in sufficient quantities of pharmaceutical products and medical technologies used to treat pandemics such as HIV AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria or the most common opportunistic infections that accompany them

Chintu C., Bhat GJ, Walker AS, et. al., Co trimoxazole as prophylaxis against opportunistic infections in HIV infected Zambian children (CHAP) a double blind randomised placebo controlled trial , Lancet 2004 365 1865 71.

So, if the pathogen doesn't need the host to be healthy and active, and actual selection favors pathogens that take advantage of those hosts, the winners in the competition are those that exploit the hosts for their own reproductive success.

Pathogens also have specialized means of transmission from host to host. If, for example, a pathogen is transmitted by an insect that lives in the tops of trees, susceptible hosts will not be infected if they never leave the ground.

Traditionally, nearly half of India s trade deficit has been financed by remittances from Indian expatriates. Part of this flow is steady, because it supports families at home but much of it is opportunistic investment seeking real returns.

But, either way, the bipolar political system to which Italians were getting accustomed is unlikely to survive unscathed. The left right divide will become easier for opportunistic politicians to cross, and perhaps a new centrist party will emerge.

What I'm suggesting here is that we could get evolution working in the direction we want it to go, rather than always having to battle evolution as a problem that stymies our efforts to control the pathogen, for example with anti malarial drugs.

Fourth, repeated street protests, combined with a weak police force, fuel small pockets of criminal activity. Opportunistic thugs foment fear and chaos real and perceived that far exceed their number and power, amplifying the country s general sense of malaise.

For, unless these experiments in economic rejuvenation are transparent, they will lead to domestic political fights. There is a wide difference between pragmatic and opportunistic politics, and governments had better keep this distinction in mind in the months and years ahead.

Further urges Governments to expand access to treatment, in a progressive and sustainable manner, including the prevention and treatment of opportunistic diseases and effective use of antiretroviral medication and to promote access to low cost effective drugs and related pharmaceutical products

No persons suffering from dysentery, typhoid, viral hepatitis or other infectious diseases of the digestive tract (including pathogen carriers), active tuberculosis, suppurative or exudative dermatosis or any other disease incompatible with food hygiene, may be engaged in any work involving contact with ready to eat foods.

Sensitive detection of pathogens, such as HIV, typically relies on the presence of nucleic acids (DNA or RNA), which are absent in prions. Recently, however, effective methods for amplifying prions have been developed, which could enable detection of the pathogen before it can damage its host.

Vaccinating children against rotavirus, for example, can protect them from a pathogen that is responsible for 37 of all diarrhea deaths in children under five, thus saving 450,000 lives every year. Similarly, vaccines exist to protect against pneumococcal disease, which accounts for a half million pneumonia related deaths annually.

(b) The accessibility and affordability for all, without discrimination, including the most vulnerable or socially disadvantaged groups of the population, of pharmaceutical products or medical technologies used to treat pandemics such as HIV AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria or the most common opportunistic infections that accompany them

(c) The assurance that pharmaceutical products or medical technologies used to treat pandemics such as HIV AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria or the most common opportunistic infections that accompany them, irrespective of their sources and countries of origin, are scientifically and medically appropriate and of good quality

(a) To refrain from taking measures that would deny or limit equal access for all persons to preventive, curative or palliative pharmaceutical products or medical technologies used to treat pandemics such as HIV AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria or the most common opportunistic infections that accompany them

As for terrorism, we advocate finding a definition satisfactory to everyone, covering State terrorism and drawing a clear distinction between terrorism and the legitimate resistance of peoples to dictatorship, invasion or foreign occupation, including that which is perversely cloaked in the guise of opportunistic and convenient multilateralism.

Quite often the consultation processes that were initiated through the poverty reduction strategy papers initiatives have been regarded as opportunistic and ad hoc, resulting in implementation that does not make much of a dent in existing structures and in processes that are inimical to pro poor growth.

WFP collaborates with WHO in a number of 3x5 countries in a variety of activities the main ones are nutritional support to the chronically ill and mothers participating in prevention of mother to child transmission, voluntary counselling and treatment programmes to improve their health status and treating opportunistic infections.

(a) Facilitating, wherever possible, access in other countries to essential preventive, curative or palliative pharmaceutical products or medical technologies used to treat pandemics such as HIV AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria or the most common opportunistic infections that accompany them, as well as extending the necessary cooperation, wherever possible, especially in times of emergency

Further calls upon States, in furtherance of the Declaration of Commitment on HIV AIDS, to address factors affecting the provision of drugs related to the treatment of pandemics such as HIV AIDS and the most common opportunistic infections that accompany them, as well as to develop integrated strategies to strengthen health care systems

Ironically, extensive research into alternative models was funded through the US Department of Defense, which, as the world s largest buyer of complex machinery, wanted better, cheaper and more tailored goods. The research noted the conditions and triggers needed to facilitate the self assembly of small opportunistic groups and enable them to act like large companies.

So the interpretation that best fits the facts so far is that the political aim of separating Khodorkovsky and Menatep from Yukos led in practice to nationalization, but that this was not the underlying goal. There is no green light for opportunistic predators in and around the Kremlin who now control Yuganskneftegaz to grab other companies assets at will.

Urges Governments to expand access to care and treatment to those in need, particularly those living in poverty, including the prevention of mother to child transmission, in a progressive and sustainable manner, and treatment of opportunistic diseases as well as the effective use of antiretroviral medication, and to promote access to safe, low cost and effective drugs and related pharmaceutical products
