Line 61: Line 61:
   * **Mice exposed to an airborne pathogen develop sub-chronic lung inflammation** – Repeated low dose aerosol exposures to //Bacillus thuringiensis// (a commercial pesticide) can induce sub-chronic lung inflammation in mice, which may be the first step in the development of chronic lung diseases.(("Sub-chronic lung inflammation after airway exposures to Bacillus thuringiensis biopesticides in mice" Look up on PubMed later.))   * **Mice exposed to an airborne pathogen develop sub-chronic lung inflammation** – Repeated low dose aerosol exposures to //Bacillus thuringiensis// (a commercial pesticide) can induce sub-chronic lung inflammation in mice, which may be the first step in the development of chronic lung diseases.(("Sub-chronic lung inflammation after airway exposures to Bacillus thuringiensis biopesticides in mice" Look up on PubMed later.))
   * **Bacterial infection causes stress-induced memory dysfunction in mice.** – Mice were infected with the non-invasive intestinal pathogen, //Citrobacter rodentium// in both C57BL/6 mice and "germ-free" Swiss-Webster mice, in the presence or absence of acute  stress.  No behavioural abnormalities were observed, either at the height of infection or following bacterial clearance. After infection clearance, however, when infected Swiss-Webster mice were exposed to acute stress, however, memory dysfunction was apparent. Conventionally reared, control Swiss-Webster mice with an intact intestinal microbiota did not develop memory problems.(({{pubmed>long:20966022}}))    * **Bacterial infection causes stress-induced memory dysfunction in mice.** – Mice were infected with the non-invasive intestinal pathogen, //Citrobacter rodentium// in both C57BL/6 mice and "germ-free" Swiss-Webster mice, in the presence or absence of acute  stress.  No behavioural abnormalities were observed, either at the height of infection or following bacterial clearance.

- +  * **Bacterial vaginosis and HIV** – Bacterial vaginosis is associated with a greater than three-fold risk of female-to-male transmission of HIV.(({{pubmed>long:22745608}})) 
 +  * **Prenatal infection and autism** – A population-wide study from Denmark spanning two decades of births indicates that infection during pregnancy increases the risk of autism in the child. Hospitalization for a viral infection, like the flu, during the first trimester of pregnancy triples the odds. Bacterial infection, including of the urinary tract, during the second trimester increases chances by 40 percent.(({{pubmed>long:20414802}})) 
 +  * **Childhood infections and asthma** – Children who experience repeated rhinovirus-induced wheezing episodes in infancy have a significantly increased risk of developing asthma.(({{pubmed>long:22053589}})) Neonates colonized in the hypopharyngeal region with //S. pneumoniae, H. influenzae,// or //M. catarrhalis,// or with a combination of these organisms, are at increased risk for recurrent wheeze and asthma early in life.(({{pubmed>long:17928596}}))
