Russia (and 0ther Warsaw pact countries) did very advanced work on using phages (viruses that only attack bacteria) for infection therapy. I'm surprised, given the advances in genetic manipulation, that they haven't completely overtaken antibiotics by now. The vested interests of capitalism at work, no doubt. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phage_therapy Note the reference to fictional works at the end of the article. It's not quite parasites but it's nearly there. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
