Bugs probe may bring asthma vaccine

(UKPA) – 6 hours ago

Farmyard bugs may help children to avoid asthma, a study has

suggested

Scientists believe the discovery could pave the way to a vaccine for the

condition which affects 1.1 million children in the UK.

Researchers have identified several types of " dirty " bacteria

and fungi that seem to reduce the chances of developing asthma.

The micro-organisms are linked to known lower rates of asthma among

children who grow up on farms.

The evidence provides strong support for the " hygiene

hypothesis " which suggests children's immune systems are not primed

properly if they live in too-clean conditions.

Some experts think this could account for rates of asthma and other

allergy conditions rising as hygiene has become a watchword of the modern

age, and people increasingly move into towns and cities.

Knowing which bugs might prime the immune system against asthma raises

the possibility of developing preventive treatments.

" We have a long way to go before we can present new preventive

measures, but at least we now have candidates for the development of a

vaccine, " said study leader Dr Markus Ege, from the University of

Munich in Germany.

The research is reported in the New England Journal of Medicine.

A number of studies have shown that farm children have a significantly

reduced risk of developing asthma. To investigate why, Dr Ege's team

focused on a group of Bavarian schoolchildren, comparing those living on

farms with others from the same rural districts who did not.
