ANNOUNCEMENTS World Health Organization special programme for research and training in tropical diseases; the search for scientists to search for the tools to control the tropical diseases The search for new tools to control disease in the tropical countries requires scientists of many disciplines. Molecular and cell biologists. biochemists. immunologists. parasitologists and entomologists are among those whose contributions are needed. The research areas covjered by the Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases are: malaria, schistosomiasis, filariasis, trypanosomiasis, leishmaniasis and leprosy; epidemiology, biomedical sciences. biological control of vectors, and socio-economic research. Specific tields within these research areas are developed by the Programme’s from any country are welcome to submit proposals for research grants within be addressed to: The Special Programme for Research World Health Organization 1211 Geneva 27, Switzerland.
