Does this have any clinical implications (like secretory diarrhea or motility disorders...) ? Any information is appreciated at my e-mail address.

(The moderator) DR KENNETH EUGENE MOTT Ken Mott passed away on 14 June 1997 in Washington DC, aged 58, after a long illness that he faced with courage and fortitude until the end. Ken was a graduate of Purdue University who later obtained medical degrees from Cornell University Medical School and the Federal University of Bahia in Brazil and a Masters in Tropical Medicine from Harvard School of Tropical Medicine. He joined WHO as Secretary of the Steering Committee for Schistosomiasis in TDR in October 1977 and was appointed Chief of the Schistosomiasis Unit in the Parasitic Diseases Programme (now the Division of Control of Tropical Diseases) in 1982 at the then early age of 43. Ken was a rare calibre of man. He is remembered and respected throughout the world for his expertise and tireless efforts not only in the field of schistosomiasis but also in chemotherapy of parasitic diseases in general. His efforts in the evaluation of praziquantel and the negotiations that led to the widespread use of this drug have had a major impact on schistosomiasis control. He was honest and kind and a great friend and valuable colleague to all those throughout the world who were lucky enough to know and work with him. His contribution to the development of tropical diseases control was immense, being built on his deep understanding and feeling for the needs of the people and countries afflicted with these diseases. He will be particularly remembered by the host of young people who have now entered the field of tropical medicine as a result of the time and care he to instil in them his own enthusiasm and belief that tropical diseases could be controlled and even eradicated. There is no greater epitaph than being remembered for our help to others. He is survived by his wife, Ingrid, whose strength and courage helped so much.
