Cockroaches may hold the key to fending off dangerous bacterial infections. Potent chemicals found in the their brain were able to kill 90% of E. coli and MRSA in lab-based tests.

Resistance to antibiotics poses a "major global threat" to public health. The World Health Organization described a "post-antibiotic era", where people die from simple infections that have been treatable for decades.

Anopheles mosquitoes carry the malaria parasite. The blood-seeking females inject these microscopic invaders, each bite acting like an infected hypodermic needle.

Scientists bear down, attacking H7N9 on multiple fronts. They are testing wild birds and thousands of domestic fowl, analyzing the viruses they find, and trying to trace people who have been exposed to infected patients.

One of the world's leading causes of blindness is a small parasitic worm that can get in the eyes. Diagnosis has proven difficult, but the recent discovery of a biomarker in the urine of those infected will aid in treatment.

When infected by parasitic maggots of the scuttle fly, "zombees" apparently desert their hives at night and cluster near outdoor lights, wandering in increasingly erratic circles on the ground before dying.

These bugs aren’t really deadly because of their venom or because they’re particularly fearsome. Kissing bugs are dangerous because they infect human beings with Chaga’s disease.
Squalamine, a newly discovered compound found in shark tissue, has an amazing antiviral efficacy, and could potentially thwart a number of chronic infections.
In an early form of biological warfare, 12th century counter-balance trebuchets were used to launch diseased corpses over walls, infecting and terrorizing those besieged.
Research indicates about 1 in around 1,000 patients undergoing abdominal surgeries wind up with an unintended souvenir. That can lead to infections, pain and other complications.
