The tapeworm contraceptive
A tapeworm may be the unlikely source of a new contraceptive - 100% effective in either sex! Despite intensive research, scientists have so far failed to find the perfect contraceptive for women - let alone men. However, a study in freshwater fish of the carp family has found a parasite, Ligula intestinalis, that makes the fish infertile. The... view more... (2002-12-04)
From Sheffield to Singapore, international Grid battles malaria
Malaria kills more than one million people each year, most of them young children living in Africa. Now physicists in the UK have shared their computers with biologists from countries including France and Korea in an effort to combat the disease. view more (2007-02-01)
Millions More at Risk Worldwide from Effects of Climate Change
Many millions of people could be placed at risk as a result of higher temperatures in the future, according to new research co-ordinated by the University of East Anglia (UEA). A group of researchers, led by Professor Martin Parry, of the Jackson Environment Institute at UEA, estimated the additional numbers of people likely to be at risk from... view more... (2001-12-10)
Best way to treat malaria: Avoid using same drug for everyone, scientists say
A team of scientists employing a sophisticated computer model pioneered at Princeton University and Resources for the Future has found that many governments worldwide are recommending the wrong kind of malaria treatment. view more (2008-09-08)
Contact lens wearers at risk from blinding infection
Some 2.2 million people wear contact lenses in England, with 900,000 alone in the southeast. Given the growing popularity in fashion contact lenses for night-clubbers, and for people who want a temporary change of eye colour, there needs to be greater awareness about the risks involved when people fail to clean their lenses properly. Dr Naveed... view more... (2003-11-03)

Entomologists exonerate mosquito in Kentish marshland killings
Medical entomologists believe that they have got to the bottom of the unusually high death rates recorded in the marshes around the River Thames, and the Essex and Kent coasts between 1700 and 1925. And for once the mosquito is not to blame. Speaking at the Royal Entomological Society’s national meeting Entomology 2002, which will take place... view more... (2002-09-04)
How to fight malaria by changing the environment
Modifying the environment by using everything from shovels and plows to plant-derived pesticides may be as important as mosquito nets and vaccinations in the fight against malaria, according to a computerized analysis by MIT researchers. view more (2009-01-29)
