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

AI can detect signs of Parkinson's disease by analyzing a person's voice as they read a single sentence. New research shows 85.7% accuracy—potentially transforming early screening and global access to care.

Over the course of his storied music career, rock icon Ozzy Osbourne faced health battles with substance abuse and Parkinson's disease.

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.

"We think we’re going to have major breakthroughs in the next few years to better treat the symptoms and try to slow the progression of PD."

Dogs' noses are sensitive enough to track down fleeing convicts, locate human remains in hidden burial sites and detect illicit drug stashes.

The researchers identified specific compounds inside earwax. The work builds on earlier findings suggesting that Parkinson's subtly alters body odour emanating from our hair and skin.

Backing up her claims for a lower risk of Parkinson's, one study found that "among both healthy individuals and patients with PD [Parkinson’s disease], caffeine consumption was significantly associated with a lower HR [hazard risk] for the risk or progression of PD, respectively."
