flax is listed as a host of M. javanica and M. hapla; I'd be inclined to
use M. javanica, but it depends on your objective.

We have been awarded funding for a postdoctoral fellow (3 years) to
work on ice active proteins in an Antarctic nematode that survives
intracellular freezing. The project will involve the isolation and
sequencing of a protein which is involved in the ability of an
Antarctic nematode to survive intracellular freezing and the
investigation of its properties and evolution. The appointee will
have experience in protein purification and molecular biology
techniques. I'd welcome any preliminary expressions of interest in
the position and will send you the official advert (and post it to

Three positions in the Blaxter Nematode Genomics/Genetics lab in
Edinburgh

Three positions are available in Edinburgh to join Mark Blaxter's
Nematode Genetics/Genomics group. See
http://www.ed.ac.uk/~mbx/blaxlab.html for an overview of what we do.

The posts are as follows:

Wellcome Trust funded Postdoctoral position on the Nematode EST program.

2 years, PDRA 1A scale (starting salary up to =A322,579). Available
immediat=
ely.

We are performing EST sequencing on a set of five parasitic nematode
species as part of an international project to identify new drug
targets and vaccine candidates in these economically and socially
important species. cDNA libraries are constructed from all lifecycle
stages of the parasite, and, where possible, from dissected tissues.
The EST sequencing is carried out in collaboration with the Sanger
Centre, Cambridge. We also perform bioinformatics analyses of the
sequences, comparing the datasets to the fully sequenced genome of
Caenorhabditis elegans and each other. The genomics section of the
Blaxter lab is currently 4 people, including a dedicated
bioinformatician and both genomic and cDNA sequencing/analysis. The
post would suit a postdoc with skills in cDNA library construction
who wanted to take a leading role in using model organism data for
understanding human and animal health issues and in exploiting the C.
elegans genome project.

Wellcome Trust funded Postdoctoral position: Sequencing the genome of
the Wolbachia endosymbiont of Onchocerca volvulus

1 year, PDRA 1A scale (starting salary from =A318,731). Available
immediatel=
y.

The human infective filarial nematodes that cause elephantiasis and
river blindness are still common pathogens in developign countries
(120 million cases currently). We are actively engaged in using
genomics methods to discover new drug targets and vaccine candidates
for these diseases. One exciting recent development is the
rediscovery of the endosymbiotic bacteria of filarial nematodes.
These bacteria are closely related to the Wolbachia endosymbionts of
insects. We have been funded as coordinators of an international
effort to sequence the 1 Mb genome of the endosymbiont bacterium of
the human parasite Onchocerca volvulus. The post offered will involve
construction and verification of large insert genomic libraries from
Onchocerca and the isolation of Wolbachia derived genomic clones from
these by hybridisation. A physical map of the genome will be
constructed and submitted for sequencing by the Pathogens Sequencing
Unit at the Sanger Centre, Cambridge. The successful applicant will
join our growing genomics group in Edinburgh, and will have
opportunities for participation in all the activities of the group.
In particular we are collaborators in the NEB/NIH funded consortium
sequencing the endosymbiont of another filarial nematode, Brugia
malayi, and we would expect significant synergy between these two
projects.

NERC funded Postdoctoral Position: Development of a Molecular Barcode
System for the Identification of Nematodes

18 months, PDRA 1A scale (starting salary from =A318,731). Available
Immediateley.

Nematodes are abundant and speciose members of the meiofauna, and
must play some (significant) role in ecosystem processes. However,
due to their small size and morphologica;l conservatism, they are
little studied for this. We are part of a major NERC initiative (see
http://mwnta.nmw.ac.uk/soilbio/index.html) examining the role of
biodiversity in ecosystem processes on a Scottish uplands study site.
We are developing a "molecular barcode" system for nematode
identification, and biodiversity assessment, using the small subunit
ribosomal RNA gene (see http://www.ed.ac.uk/~mbx/syrup/syrup.html for
more information). We have an opening for a postdoctoral worker on
this project. The successful applicant's role will be to build a
database of Scottish soil nematode "molecular barcodes" and relate
this to known taxa (species) defined morphologically. (We have
already identified at least one new species.) The next step will be
to devise hybridisation and PCR-screening based methods for examining
the changes in diversity and abundance following perturbations of the
soil system, and integtrating these findings with the other NERC
projects on the same site (examining other soil fauna and flora, and
nutrient flow).

Please contact Mark Blaxter at mark.blaxter@ed.ac.uk (ph 0131 650
5450 fax 0131 650 7489) if you are interested. Please pass this
message on to anyone you think might be interested.

Subject: Nematology training opportunity

Content-type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

An opportunity exists through the Crawford Fund for a scientist or
technician from a developing country to undertake short term nematology
training (up to 3 months) in Adelaide, South Australia.

The Crawford Fund was established in 1989 by The Australian Academy of
Technological Sciences and Engineering to increase the number of trained
technicians, technologists and scientists who can undertake useful and
effective R&D activities to improve food production and processing in
developing countries. In May this year the Crawford Fund of South
Australia
was established with grants from State and Federal governments and is
seeking projects to support.

The fund offers training awards which cover return airfares and
accommodation for up to three months in Australia and are designed to
train
scientists and technicians from developing countries in specific
techniques
that they can then apply in their home countries to increase food
production.

If you feel that a period of training in nematology would meet the
Crawford
Fund objectives and you would like to discuss the possibility, please
provide brief biographical details, outline training needs and details
of
potential benefits.

If it appears that the combined nematology groups at the Waite Campus,
Adelaide can meet the training needs and a meritorious case can be made
to
the Crawford Fund, I would be pleased to facilitate such an application.

Subject: Ozone for nematode eradication in waters; other
alternatives
MIME-version: 1.0
Content-type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

Colleagues:

I would appreciate any ideas or suggestions for the following:

Situation: A greenhouse-like facility has been sampled and found to
contain
Rotylenchulus reniformis and Radopholus similis. The water used for
irrigation on the plants is recycled through a sealed reservoir
(>200,000
gal). Over time, the total dissolved salt concentrations in this water
has
been steadily rising, and the 'owner' wishes to flush, and then
replenish
the reservoir with new water. The flushed water is intended to be used
on
the landscaping surrounding the facility.

What are some efficacious methods of treatment of this flush water to
ensure
the elimination of these nematodes and eggs prior to distribution of the
water to the landscape plantings outside this facility?

Can the use of ozone be effective? If so, what concentration and
duration
of exposure? On a much smaller scale, solar heating of small volumes of
water in a constricted tube proved effective.

Any alternative treatments? References would be greatly appreciated.

Thanking you in advance for your assistance.

Hi Mark,

I was very interested to read about these interesting projects. WRT the
molecular barcode project, would "soil nematodes" include Mermis
nigrescens? I thought it might be interesting to conpare Scottish and N
American varieties. Cobb gave them different species names. I think
they are regarded as the same species now, but there is no real evidence

In 1987 Gregor Yeates gave a series of lectures at the Wageningen
University,
which strongly stimulated soil ecological work. We still have a number
of
readers available, titled: Resource utilization by Nematodes, notes for
a
series of lectures given in the Nematology Department. If you are
interested,
they are free, please contact Anette.Angelino@Medew.Nema.WAU.nl
