The NIAID Data Ecosystem Discovery Portal is Now Live!

The NIAID Data Ecosystem Discovery Portal (https://data.niaid.nih.gov/) allows researchers to search simultaneously across millions of publicly available datasets to find infectious and immune-mediated disease data for reanalysis and accelerates the work of researchers, leading to faster development of diagnostics, therapeutics, and vaccines.

 

The Discovery Portal can be used to:

  • Search across repositories to quickly find datasets that you didn’t know were available to bring other dimensions into your analyses.
  • Track research across funding programs or specific scientific areas.

20 Years of BEI Resources

BEI Resources is celebrating its 20th year providing unique reagents supporting infectious disease research to the global scientific        community!

BEI Arthropod Vectors Webinar (April 21, 2023)

The Role of BEI Resources in the Support of Arthropod Vector Research Webinar

Vector-borne microbial pathogens have evolved a series of strategies to evade the immune system and establish infections in the mammalian host. In this setting, BEI Resources functions as a centralized bioresource for accessibility of reference strains of arthropod vectors to the global public health scientific community. The BEI Vector Resources program currently provides over 60 colonies of live mosquitoes as well as Ixodid and soft ticks, sandflies, black flies    and triatomines.

H5N1 Influenza virus Isolate Coming Soon

H5N1 Influenza virus Isolate Coming Soon

A multi-state outbreak of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) A(H5N1) bird flu in dairy cows was initially reported on March 25, 2024. This marks the first time that these avian influenza viruses have been detected in cattle.

New Tools to Assess HIV Broadly Neutralizing Antibodies

New Tools to Assess HIV Broadly Neutralizing Antibodies

Broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) are a focus of HIV research as a possible target for vaccine development. In 2021, infusions of bnAbs were shown to neutralize circulating HIV, however development of vaccine immunogens capable of eliciting potent bnABs has posed a significant challenge to HIV researchers.

Breakthrough In Vitro Model of Syphilis Spirochete

Breakthrough In Vitro Model of Syphilis Spirochete

Treponema pallidum is a pathogenic, obligate spirochete and causative agent of the sexually transmitted disease syphilis. Historically considered an unculturable organism in vitro, isolation and propagation of T. pallidum has been limited to rabbits and other animal models of infection.

Trichomonas vaginalis Clinical Isolates

Trichomonas vaginalis Clinical Isolates

Trichomonas vaginalis is the most common non-viral sexually transmitted parasite and causative agent of trichomoniasis. Metronidazole is the drug choice for treatment, but in some clinical cases parasites can exhibit resistance.

World Mosquito Day 2024

World Mosquito Day 2024

World Mosquito Day, observed on August 20, marks Sir Ronald Ross’ discovery in 1897 that female Anopheles mosquitoes are responsible for transmitting malaria to humans. This discovery has been instrumental in understanding the transmission and life cycle of malaria, leading to groundbreaking treatments.
