Course, Evolution of Parasites and of Host-Parasite Relationships
Paris, France, May 2-4, 2001

Details about this Course, including the detailed program, abstracts of
Conferences

http://www.mnhn.fr/mnhn/bpph/Enseignement/Evolution2001.htm

----------------------------

The National Museum of Natural History in Paris, France organizes for
the eigth time a series of conferences on "Evolution of Parasites and
of Host-Parasite Relationships". This course is intended for graduate
and post-graduate students and all researchers in the field of parasitology.
Registration is free of charge but participants should register in advance.

Most of the courses will be given in French, but the 2 conferences
in English will be grouped on Friday 4th, 2001.
Please refer to the following information.

The present message also includes the list of conferences.

Ce cours est organise pour la huitieme annee consecutive. Les cours sont
destines a un public tres large de parasitologues debutantsou confirmes.
Les personnes assistant aux Conferences peuvent obtenir une  "Attestation
de Cours" a condition d'assister a la totalite des Conferences et de
rediger une courte synthese qui sera jugee par les organisateurs.
Il n'y a pas de "resumes" des cours, mais les conferenciers preparent
des documents (schemas, textes) qui sont distribues gratuitement aux
participants.
Une excellente connaissance de la langue francaise est necessaire pour
assister a ce cours de maniere profitable, au moins les deux premiers jours.
En 2001, 8 conferences seront en francais, et 2 en anglais, groupees le
dernier jour.
L'inscription au cours est gratuite mais doit etre preferentiellement
effectuee a l'avance. Le formulaire est disponible sur la page internet du
site.

Les cours auront lieu au laboratoire de Chimie, 63 rue Buffon,
75005 Paris.

Dear colleagues:

As part of the Schisto community I find that you would like to hear that
our Schisto EST Genome Project was approved and funded by FAPESP (the
State of Sao Paulo research funding agency), starting this month.

http://verjo18.iq.usp.br/schisto/

The whole group in Sao Paulo is very proud to be part of the world
effort, that was initiated by the Schistosoma international scientific
community, to sequence the parasite's transcriptome.

Sincerely,
--
Sergio Verjovski-Almeida

Dear Dr. Verjovski-Almeida:
Thank you for your message, congratulations and greetings from Shanghai,
China.
Currently, we are continuing our schisto genome study on S.j ESTs from
different developmental stages, it will be exciting to compare the data
between shisto species when we all gathered enough information.
