Study suggests two unsuspected pathogens struck Napoleon's army during the retreat from Russia in 1812
Scientists from the Institut Pasteur have genetically analyzed the remains of former soldiers who retreated from Russia in 1812. They detected two pathogens, those responsible for paratyphoid fever and relapsing fever, which correlate with the symptoms described in historical accounts. The study is published in the journal Current Biology on October 24, 2025.The famous Russian campaign led...

Fighting sleeping sickness
What if we could stop a disease before it affected humans?That is the aim of the Sherlock project, an RNA test capable of detecting sleeping sickness in livestock.In Africa, this test not only monitors the circulation of the parasite, but also prevents transmission to humans. This groundbreaking innovation is the result of international collaboration between Brice Rotureau's teams, the IRD, and...

A promising avenue for improving antibiotic efficacy
Aminoglycosides are antibiotics effective against a wide range of bacteria including Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. Until now though, their mode of entry into bacteria has remained unknown. Scientists at the Institut Pasteur, working with teams from Inserm, the CNRS and Université Paris Cité, have recently demonstrated that aminoglycosides enter bacteria by...

Ecology and health – phages interact with many bacteria in ecosystems
Phages (bacteriophages), viruses that infect bacteria, are the most abundant genetic entities in our environment. A study published in Nature Microbiology challenges the common preconception that they only infect a limited number of hosts: a significant proportion of phages can interact with several bacterial species (5 to 10%).
