What would be the expected distribution of the two parasites in the vertebrate host? Would the expected proportion of mixed infections be the same as expected if two vectors were involved (one species of vector for each species of parasite)? If two vectors are involved, and there is no interaction between parasites, the expected proportion of mixed infections by chance would simply be the product of the prevalences of each of the parasites. Intuition suggests that if the parasites share the same vector, the expected number of mixed infections would be higher. I suspect that this problem has been modeled, but I havenŐt found any reference in the literature I have scanned. Anyone know of such models published or unpublished? Thanks.

Iowa, USA) Howard Cobb (Cambridge, UK) Leishmania major Angela Cruz (USP, Brasil) Al Ivens (London, UK) Martin Azlett (Cambridge, UK) Leishmania donovani Peter Myler (Seattle, USA) Invited experts and discussants were Sam Cartinhour (NAL, USA; acedb) David Landsman (NCBI, USA; Entrez, databases) Jim Ostell (NCBI, USA; Entrez, databases) Prakash Nadkarni (Yale, USA; 4D/SQL) Michael Gottleib (NIH NIAID, USA; NIH funding and policy) Bob Hata (WHO, Geneva; TDR) Boris Dobrokhotov (WHO, Geneva; TDR) The meeting was held over 3 days at the Marine Biology Laboratory, Woods Hole, MA, USA. For each genome project the researchers concerned presented progress to date in mapping, sequencing and coordinating research on their genome. A remarkable amount of work had been done, with WHO funding supplemented with locally raised grants. Over 3000 parasite expressed sequence tags had been generated from the WHO projects alone, and another 2000 obtained by associated groups. Despite the relative youth of the dataset, parasite est clones were already frequently requested by researchers. Large insert clone libraries were available on grids from all the protozoan parasites and Schistosoma. Contig maps were being built of selected Leishmania and Trypanosome chromosomes and had already revealed hitherto unexpected features of genome organisation. Schistosome clones were being mapped to chromosomes by fluorescent in-situ hybridisation. Data and reagents are being made available to the respective research comunities on request. Representatives from the NCBI presented the latest information on global gene databasing and previewed many upcoming enhancements of the NCBI database services. There was enthusiastic and fruitful discussion of the needs of the parasite genome community, resulting in a series of recommendations to NCBI concerning data access and retrieval. In particular, the ability to search databases by the accession date was requested and the use of hypertext links from parasite genome databases and world wide web sites to NCBI databases was encouraged. For collation and handling of genome data, several systems were discussed. It was decided unanimously to recommend that: * each genome laboratory would continue to handle and process its genome data with systems already in place. Thus each mapping laboratory would continue to use software developed for the local computing environment and with the skills and support available locally. * the public sequence databases (NCBI Genbank and dbest) would be used as sequence repositories for expressed sequence tag and genome sequence generated by the project to ensure thorough external quality control (at NCBI) and consistency in presentation. Submission of sequence data to the NCBI would be the responsibility of the laboratory generating it. * each genome would develop a unitary genome database for archiving and presentation of data. This database would be able to be installed locally in a number of computing environments (UNIX, DOS, Windows and MacOS), and would have a proven ability to be made internet-available. A single researcher at the core of the project would be the database curator and project secretary. * all the genome projects agreed to use the ACeDB engine for database development. This was because (1) it meets all the data handling and presentation needs identified in this meeting (2) it is installable under UNIX, LINUX on PCs and MacOS (a Windows version is under development) (3) world wide web and gopher access accross the internet is a proven technology (4) it is free (5) the group has extensive experience of it and (6) a large global network of user support is available. * five ACeDB databases would be constructed: LeishDB Already under development by Al Ivens, Martin Azlett and Howard Cobb, Cambridge TrypDB Already under development by Sara Melville, Martin Azlett and Howard Cobb, Cambridge Tcruzi To be developed by Wim Degrave, Brasil, in collaboration with Cambridge FilDB Already under development by Mark Blaxter, Edinburgh Schistosoma To be developed by David Johnston, London, in collaboration with Mark Blaxter, Edinburgh. * the researchers underlined above should be the database curators, and also act as genome initiative "secretaries" for their organism. * each genome project would continue to liase with NCBI in order to best expedite the flow of genome data into the NCBI database systems from the unified ACeDB databases. The unified view of the researchers present was that an extremely cost effective approach to meeting the computing needs of the initiatives would be to employ a single computer specialist to assist with all the acedb database construction. It was noted that the filarial initiative (Mark Blaxter) had requested funds from the WHO for a database management person. The meeting enthusiastically endorsed a proposal that * a WHO parasite genomes computing person should be employed * she/he should have the remit of * developing and installing acedb engines for each database in consultation with the current curators * developing and implementing data entry protocols and scripts for each database in consultation with the current curators and the data generating laboratories * developing and installing www and gopher internet access for the databases * assisting with local installation of the acedb databases in the participating labs worldwide * she/he should be based in Cambridge but should travel to the other laboratories involved as needed. Mark Blaxter was aked to prepare a revised version of his proposal to present to the WHO steering committee. ________________________________________________ Dr. Mark Blaxter email Mark.Blaxter@ed.ac.uk Institute of Cell, Animal and Population Biology Ashworth Laboratories, King's Buildings University of Edinburgh, West Mains Road EDINBURGH EH9 3JT, United Kingdom phone: (+44) 131 650 6760 Fax :...650 5450 ----- End Included Message ----- From owner-vectors@net.bio.net Thu Sep 28 23:00:00 1995 Path: biosci!agate!usenet.kornet.nm.kr!news.kreonet.re.kr!news.dacom.co.kr!news.netins.net!solaris.cc.vt.edu!swiss.ans.net!prodigy.com!usenet From: TGFK51A@prodigy.com (John Cockerill) Newsgroups: bionet.biology.vectors Subject: Re: Question on models Date: 29 Sep 1995 04:50:43 GMT Organization: Prodigy Services Company 1-800-PRODIGY Lines: 7 Distribution: world Message-ID: <44ftv3$fh8@usenetw1.news.prodigy.com> References: <44c68q$b0o@swen.emba.uvm.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: inugap5.news.prodigy.com X-Newsreader: Version 1.2 have you looked at lyme diseas and other infections that are transmitted by deer ticks - JOHN COCKERILL TGFK51A@prodigy.com
