Opening and closing a
can of worms |

Speaker: |
Vaughan Southgate |

Description: |
Vaughan Southgate BSc (Aberystwyth), PhD
(Cambridge)
is President of the Linnean Society of London. His distinguished scientific
career at the Natural History Museum has helped us understanding the
parasitic worms that cause schistosomiasis (Bilharzia), a nasty tropical
disease. About 120 million people, mainly in Africa, suffer from this
affliction. Prince William has been successfully treated. How did he
become infected? Can we stop transmission? Why do we need to study
freshwater snails? Will drug-resistant worms appear? Why is water
management so important? What might be the impact of climate change? |
