Online access offers fresh scope for bug identification
Article Abstract:
The remote control microscope, which will be ready for use in May 2005, will be of great help to Michael Schauff as he will then be in a position to access the wide variety of insects in the entomology collection in London's Natural History Museum. Thus, the staff in Schauff's laboratory will be in a position to view the insect placed under this microscope in the London's Museum.

Tissue survey raises spectre of 'second wave' of vCJD
Article Abstract:
Variant Creutzfeldt Jakob disease (vCJD) thought to be contracted by eating beef from cattle infected with mad cow disease, was first seen in Britain in 1995 and since then 141 people have died. The study and pattern of vCJD infection in Britain should become clearer in late 2006, when the Health Protection Agency is due to complete a study of 100000 tonsil tissue samples.
