Simply cloning the competition's products can be an inhibitor to success; the AgCenter has truly unique and innovative work in the areas of chemical compounds, assays, and genetics. Reviewing our technology is the first step to synthesizing success. Sugar-Based Treatment for Fungal Disease [Image: Image of Flyer] This invention is a new type of treatment for Aspergillosis, a type of fungal infection. This infection is particularly deadly, causing blood clots and impairment of the lungs. Usually infecting those with suppressed immune systems, Aspergillus is present in the general environment and can be inhaled from anywhere. This new treatment can overcome the organism’s normal drug resistance and offers new hope to those suffer from infection. Detection of Spiroplasma in Vitreous and Body Fluids [Image: Image of Flyer] A new method has been developed to detect the presence of spiroplasma in humans and animals. Determining the amount of spiroplasma present can help to diagnose transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE) like Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) and scrapie. This method can also detect the antigens of spiroplasma, further increasing the chances of finding cures to these life-threatening diseases.
