SNOPAD

[Chris Gordon (Hd Med Parasit)]

I am curious as to what the general view of parasitologists is to the plea 
for consistency in naming parasite diseases and infections appearing in the 
latest Parasitology Today (1993, vol 10 no 4 pp127-128). The Standardized 
Nomenclature of Animal Parasitic Diseases (SNOAPAD) was originally published 
in Veterinary Parasitology (1988) 29 (4), pp 299-326, and represents the 
proposal of an expert committee appointed by the Executive Committee of the 
World Association for the Advancement of Veterinary Parasitology.
