This Meeting is, as always, open to any interested researcher who wishes to attend. Please would anyone who wishes to attend the Meeting contact Phil LoVerde, Network Co-ordinator (loverde@buffalo.edu), as soon as possible. Phil is happy to provide invitation letters for anyone who needs one for visa purposes. WHO have awarded limited funds to support the meeting, However, these are likely to be fully committed to help support the attendance of core, active members of the Network who are requested, wherever possible, to obtain external support for travel to the Meeting.Other participants must be prepared to cover their own expenses in full (although some contribution towards cost may be possible). We have scheduled the Meeting to allow a Saturday stop-over to reduce travel costs. Accomodation in a local motel will be in double rooms. Anyone not wanting to have a room mate will be expected to cover the full costs of their accomodation and must inform Phil of this, when registering their wish to attend. David A. Johnston, Secretary to the WHO Schistosoma Genome Network, Biomedical Parasitology Division, Dept. of Zoology, The Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD, England, UK.

Message-Id: <20010925070608.F226517AC3@mercury.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk> Sender: owner-schisto@hgmp.mrc.ac.uk Precedence: bulk Dear Colleagues, We have prepared crude antigens by Ultrasonication for S.spindale male, female, S.indicum and cercariae of S.spindale. The antigens may be used after fractionation for testing cross reactivity against other schistosome species. We are also having goats and rabbits which are experimentally infected with S.spindale and S.incognitum. We may also supply the serum of these animals also. We are interested in exchanging the material for scientific work , the Scintiest will return some material (antigen coated wells, nitrocellulose strips dotted with the antigens)for our work also. Those who are interested may write with the possible collaboration to the undersigned Yours Sincerely M.C.Agrawal ---
