I remember reading something similar (perhaps by the same writer) in Science a while back. I recall being surprised (and disturbed) but also not all that surprised. While science/medicine has sort of declared the bacteria and parasite as conquered, a thing of times past, solved compared to viruses and genetics, accounts like this one reminds us that there is clearly more than meets the eye when it comes to these obstenibly well-understood organisms. I look forward to seeing the tide of medicine and science change to re-examine these creatures once again.. biella >
