When the allergic airway disease was induced in this mouse model, newborn mice infected with greatly increased production of chemical messengers such characteristic allergic asthma, compared to uninfected controls, and neonatal groups of adults infected, said Patel.Even with this knowledge, we do not understand how this pathogen causes symptoms of asthma and, if you actually begin the disease, said Katir Patel, a researcher of the study.
