These announcments today refer to a new acess service for data on malaria-related compounds, assays and targets. This involves ChEMBL MMV and EBI.   Sounds good and I will take a look in due course

 Hi,
I thought I would point out this interesting article  http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2012/03/how-your-cat-is-making-you-crazy/8873/ 
 
This article discusses the work of Jaroslav Flegr, a Czeck scientist who believes that Toxo is connected to schizophrenia and possibly other brain disorders.

I am Luogbou-nzu, PhD student at the university of Yaoundé I camerron. I am working on genetic diversity of Schistosoma haematobium from Cameroon.  At this level I have already collected samples from 10 villages in Cameroon.

There is often talk of whether (or when) resistance to praziquantel will develop, and how catastrophic this would be for the treatment of schisto. There have been some important studies on this over the years, but a recent paper in PLoS NTD provides some new evidence for the development of resistance in Kenya. Thanks to Marc for the heads up.
