Image: A female sandfly inserts her proboscis into human tissue. Sandflies are vectors for parasites of the leishmania genus which cause the spectrum of diseases known as the leishamaniases. The University of York is at the forefront of research into new drugs and vaccines for these chronic diseases which threaten public health in 88 countries around the globe.
Image: The differences in the relationship of autistic and non-autistic people with their personal possessions is examined in a project by researchers from the departments of psychology and archaeology
Image: 3D reconstruction of an E. coli biofilm composed of two strains, one expressing GFP (green) and one tdTomato (red). A void in the biofilm can be seen in the central area of the image, part of many channels that run through the structure.

Image: Measuring the neuronal responses of fruit flies to a flickering light to determine the onset of Parkinson's Disease. This form of Parkinson's Disease is caused by a mutation in a gene shared by both flies and humans and one of its first effects in both organisms is to cause lesions in the visual system.
