DESCRIPTION:The talk will be on the biology of necatoriasis.\n'Sneks long 
 balus' is Melanesian pidgen for 'snakes on planes'. Papua New Guinea peopl
 e call Gastro Intestinal  worms "snek bilong bel"\, snakes that belong to 
 your belly\, which is apt. The snakes on planes angle refers to the travel
 s hookworms from PNG have made since we obtained an isolate many years ago
  for medical research. This isolate has subsequently travelled from us bac
 k to Australia\, from there to Leiden\, and from us to Washington DC. This
  travel reflects the burgeoning interest in this research field\, which wi
 ll be described.
