A recent study linking human pegivirus to Parkinson’s is leading scientists to examine the connection between other viral infections and neurodegenerative diseases.

Gait changes such as swinging the arms differently and taking smaller, slower steps

Trained dogs were able to detect Parkinson’s disease from skin swabs with up to 80% accuracy.   This method could lead to a faster, non-invasive

A University of Bristol study shows that trained dogs can detect Parkinson's disease with 80% sensitivity by identifying odors in skin swabs, potentially enabling earlier diagnosis.

The usually harmless Human Pegivirus has been found in brain samples from Parkinson’s patients. Researchers say this is the first time it’s been found in brain tissue.

Heavy metal rocker Ozzy Osbourne died this week at 76, about five years after announcing he had Parkinson’s disease.

Computer scientists at the University of Rochester have developed an AI-powered, speech-based screening tool that can help people assess whether they are showing signs of Parkinson's disease, the fastest growing neurological disability in the world.

About 90,000 people are diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (PD) each year—one person every six minutes. While most people associate PD with tremors and stiffness, the condition is far more complex than these symptoms and may affect more than just movement.
