The immune systems of human and non-human primates have diverged over time, such that some species differ considerably in their susceptibility, symptoms, and survival of particular infectious diseases. Variation in primate immunity is such that major human pathogens - such as immunodeficiency viruses, herpesviruses and malaria-inducing species of Plasmodium - elicit striking differences in immune response between closely related species and within primate populations. These differences in immunity are the outcome of complex evolutionary processes that include interactions between the host, its pathogens and symbiont/commensal organisms. The success of some pathogens in establishing persisten...
Zahlreiche Bundeseinrichtungen erfullen historisch traditionsreiche Aufgaben der Ressortforschung im Gesundheitsbereich. Sie nehmen als Teile der Bundesverwaltung komplexe Relaisfunktionen zwischen Wissenschaft, Politik sowie administrativer Rechtsanwendung wahr. Manche Einrichtungen wie das Robert Koch- oder das Paul-Ehrlich-Institut haben in der Corona-Pandemie als Akteure staatlicher Wissensgenerierung breite Bekanntheit erlangt. Aber auch andere - wie das Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut oder die Bundesinstitute fur Arzneimittel und Medizinprodukte und fur Risikobewertung - verfugen uber leistungsstarke Forschungsabteilungen und agieren durch Forschung und Publikation als aktive Teilnehmer im Wissenschaftsprozess. Die Untersuchung spurt der Geschichte der Einrichtungen, ihrer Funktion im demokratischen Rechtsstaat, ihrer Unabhangigkeit und ihrer Bedeutung fur rechtliche Entscheidungsverfahren nach.
