activity during sleep. Interestingly, the pattern of firing observed is specific to the song heard, suggesting that the neuronal activity carries with it information about the song itself. However, the quality of the juvenile’s song actually worsens after sleep, and improves only with practice the next day. Importantly, this effect is dependent upon sleep per se, as it is observed following day...

Monitoring chloroquine resistance using Plasmodium falciparum parasites isolated from wild mosquitoes in Tanzania.

Monitoring antimalarial drug resistance is a useful epidemiologic tool and provides early detection of resistance foci. Using DNA extracted from the head/thorax of wild mosquitoes collected from Bagamoyo Coastal Tanzania, samples infected by Plasmodium falciparum (N = 89, in 2002 and N = 249 in 2004) were screened by nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-restriction fragment length polymorphis...
