TREATING CATTLE WITH INSECTICIDE - A NEW APPROACH FOR MALARIA CONTROL IN SOUTH ASIA (p 1837)
Insecticide treatment of livestock could be a new, cost-effective malaria-control strategy in south Asia, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Indoor spraying of houses with insecticide - the standard method of malaria control in south Asia - is becoming prohibitively expensive to implement and new approaches are... view more...

Passenger Screening Advised To Cut Risk Of Importing Drug-Resistant Malaria To Africa
Imported resistance has rendered ineffective the two affordable malaria drugs which have been the mainstay of malaria treatment in Africa for forty years, according to experts writing today in the journal Science. Scientists from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and colleagues from institutions in the USA, South Africa and... view more... (2004-08-16)
Monkey malaria widespread in humans and potentially fatal
A potentially fatal species of malaria is being commonly misdiagnosed as a more benign form of the disease, thereby putting lives at risk. view more (2008-01-16)
Greenland's thinning ice sheet could be saved by snow
A study conducted by an expert at the University of Sheffield and officials at NASA has found that while Greenland's ice is certainly thinning, snowfall in some areas is increasing, with levels in south-east Greenland in the past year being three times higher than is usual. This opens debate as to how global warming will affect Greenland's ice... view more... (2004-12-20)
NASA sees into the eye of a monster storm on Saturn
NASA's Cassini spacecraft has seen something never before seen on another planet - a hurricane-like storm at Saturn's south pole with a well-developed eye, ringed by towering clouds. view more (2006-11-10)
New mammal discovery made by Case paleontologist
Fossils of a new hoofed mammal that resembles a cross between a dog and a hare which once roamed the Andes Mountains in southern Bolivia around 13 million years ago was discovered by Darin A. Croft, assistant professor of anatomy at the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine and a research associate at the Cleveland Museum of Natural... view more... (2006-08-10)
Ancient ape ruled out of man's ancestral line
Ancient remains, once thought to be a key link in the evolution of mankind, have now been shown to be 400,000 years too young to be a part of man's family tree. view more (2006-12-08)
Scientists warn of climate change risk to marine turtles
North American marine turtles are at risk if global warming occurs at predicted levels, according to scientists from the University of Exeter. An increase in temperatures of just one degree Celsius could completely eliminate the birth of male turtles from some beaches. view more (2007-02-20)
Fossil Patagonian plants show high insect feeding diversity 52 million years ago
South America has the most biodiversity of any major region today and according to an international team of researchers, that biodiversity began at least 52 million years ago. view more (2005-06-16)
A Warm South Pole? Yes, on Neptune!
An international team of astronomers using ESO's Very Large Telescope has discovered that the south pole of Neptune is much hotter than the rest of the planet. This is consistent with the fact that it is late southern summer and this region has been in sunlight for about 40 years. view more (2007-09-19)
Earliest embryos ever discovered provide clues to dinosaur evolution, parenting
The embryos of a long-necked, herbivorous dinosaur are the earliest ever recorded for any terrestrial vertebrate and point to how primitive dinosaurs evolved into the largest animals ever to walk on earth. view more (2005-07-29)
Indian eddies supply Atlantic Ocean with warm water
Water from the Indian Ocean does not reach the South Atlantic Ocean continuously, but in separate packages. These are called Agulhas eddies, after the current along the east coast of Southern Africa where they originate from. view more (2005-10-11)
Living longer in Yorkshire
People across Yorkshire are living longer, but a regional north-south divide in health is widening - a reversal of national patterns of affluence and deprivation, according to geography professor Phil Rees and research student Dominic Brown. view more (2002-06-10)
Astronomers discover missing link for origin of comets
An international team of scientists that includes University of British Columbia astronomer Brett Gladman has found an unusual object whose backward and tilted orbit around the Sun may clarify the origins of certain comets. view more (2008-09-05)
Scientific sub makes deep-sea discoveries
A four-week expedition to explore the deep ocean south-west of Tasmania has revealed new species of animals and more evidence of impacts of increasing carbon dioxide on deep-sea corals. view more (2009-01-21)
First nationwide child health and air pollution study commences
This is the first nation-wide study of child health in relation to air quality to be conducted in Australia. view more (2007-04-19)
The moon's south pole: Very high resolution, radar images find rocks abundant, but no ice sheets
Using the highest resolution radar-signal images ever made of the moon - images from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Arecibo Telescope in Arecibo, P.R., and the NSF's Robert C. Byrd Telescope in Green Bank, W.Va. - planetary astronomers have found no evidence for ice in craters at the lunar south pole. view more (2006-10-19)
The spread of our species
In a major new development in human evolutionary studies, researchers from the University of Cambridge argue that the dispersal of modern humans from Africa to South Asia may have occurred as recently as 70,000 years ago. view more (2005-11-07)
Cassini finds recent, unusual geology on Enceladus
New detailed images taken by NASA's Cassini spacecraft of the south polar region of Saturn's moon Enceladus reveal distinctive geological features, and the most youthful terrains of any seen on Enceladus. view more (2005-07-27)
New theory -- universal intelligence on animals and plants
Here it is proposed that life in all its variety is full of sensation and creates a complicated web of interaction with its surroundings. Mammals, birds and even fish mourn for a lost love. Single-celled organisms carry out tasks that are surprisingly complicated. We can demonstrate sensitivity in microscopic organisms, while plants emerge as... view more... (1999-03-25)
