RFI: Study on Schistosomiasis (2)
---------------------------------
Dear Dr. Gerito Augusto,
I read your message on AFRO-NETS and thought that you might be inter-
ested in a new CD-ROM on Schistosomiasis which has recently been pro-
duced by the Wellcome Trust and CAB International, two not-for-profit
organisations based in the UK.
The CD-ROM is part of a series called 'Topics in International
Health' (other titles include Malaria, STDs, Leprosy, Sickle Cell
Disease, Tuberculosis, Trachoma, Diarrhoeal Diseases, HIV/AIDS, Nu-
trition and Leishmaniasis).
The information on the CD is divided into three parts:
** a set of 12 interactive tutorials: Overview; Schistosoma Morphol-
ogy; Schistosoma Taxonomy; Schistosoma Life Cycle; Immunology;
Geographical Distribution; Factors Underlying Transmission; Snail
Control; Diagnosis; Treatment; Control by Chemotherapy and Health
Education; Schistosome Cercarial Dermatitus;
** a database containing 500 searchable images, each with a detailed
description;
** a glossary of relevant medical and scientific terms The CD-ROM is
written in clear, precise English and is designed for use by re-
searchers, lecturers, health professionals and medical students
worldwide.
The information is presented in a highly visual, interactive way and
all the titles in the 'Topics in International Health' series have so
far proved very popular. There are special prices for users in devel-
oping countries and for Mozambique the price is GBP 20 (pounds ster-
ling) per disc (including postage and packing). There is no extra
charge for networking the disc to several computer workstations. If
you would like further information on this CD-ROM please send me your
full postal address and I will send you a leaflet giving more de-
tails.
If you would like to order a copy, I can send you a proforma invoice.
Thanks and good luck in your research.
Regards,
