The WHO Pandemic Agreement directly addresses the risk of zoonotic spillovers — transmission of pathogens from animals to humans. With over a million undiscovered viruses in animal hosts, Raina Plowright and her colleagues urge swift action.
Thanks to a research partnership between Embark Veterinary and the College of Veterinary Medicine, DNA tests also provide findings that could improve dogs’ health.
The Southern Ocean – between Antarctica and other continents – will eventually release heat absorbed from the atmosphere, leading to projected long-term increases in precipitation over East Asia and the Western U.S.
Researchers have identified a new way to fight infections like Lyme disease and syphilis by disrupting the bacteria’s ‘motor,’ preventing it from spreading through the body.
Researchers studying novel traits in organisms and the fundamental understanding of extreme weather are among the five Cornell assistant professors who've received National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development Awards.
Researchers tracked 16 live bobcats in the state and found widespread exposure to avian flu, with evidence of bobcats surviving but also succumbing to the highly pathogenic H5N1 strain.
A study from Cornell researchers could enable a quantum leap forward in identifying and deciphering cancer-driving genetic mutations, the first step in developing effective therapeutics.
Cornell researchers have confirmed that a previously identified biomarker for detecting malignant testicular germ cell tumors – the most common solid cancers in young men – has the potential to improve patient outcomes through early detection.
