Society, Wildlife Disease And Wildlife Conservation: Oxymoron Or Evolutionary Siblings?
Over the past 50 years, the field of wildlife disease as an issue for concern has exploded in significance, mostly because of the increased realization that most emerging human diseases are "zoonotic," that is, diseases that can spread from people to other animals or vice-versa.

New Test For Safer Biomedical Research Results
In cancer research, as in most other biomedical sciences, they are playing a key role: living cells, kept in sterile plastic containers with red culture media populating incubators in laboratories around the world. But do researchers always know what is really living in their culture dishes? Under the microscope, different cell lines are almost impossible to distinguish from each other.

Mid-Missouri Group Sees Increase In People Seeking HIV/AIDS Services, Patients Testing Positive For HIV

Mid-Missouri Group Sees Increase In People Seeking HIV/AIDS Services, Patients Testing Positive For HIV Mid-Missouri has experienced an 18 percent increase in people seeking treatment for HIV/AIDS, according to RAIN, the organization that handles case management for patients in the area, AP/Springfield News-Leader reports (7/5). Cale Mitchell, executive director of RAIN, said in the 12 month period ending in May, the group added 58 clients who either tested positive for HIV or began seeking services. "Some of that increase can be explained by more widespread testing by local agencies and clinics, but other factors include a casual attitude toward the disease among young people and a perception that HIV is a treatable condition because of medical advances," writes the Columbia Daily Tribune (Greaney, 7/5).
