Microbiological infections as a risk factor for the development of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Microbiological infections as a risk factor for the development of AD and PD

A link between bacterial and viral infection and AD/PD has been suggested in several studies, however very few have attempted to establish a link between fungal infection and AD/PD. In this study a nanopore sequencing approach was employed which showed evidence of the presence of fungal DNA on healthy human brains as well AD/PD brains.
