Topic, "Parasites"
Hi. This month we will have a fascinating discussion at our Cafe Sci at
7PM on Wednesday 7 March, at Taste, in College Park.
Parasites are one of the weirder phenomena in biology. For example,
there are fungal parasites that take over the behavior of ants to
manipulate them into promoting the fungus' life cycle. Another parasite
affects humans so they are more likely to keep cats, and therefore help
the parasite live in the cats and nearby mice.
In addition to practicing infectious-disease medicine, our speaker, Dr.
Mary T Busowski MD, practices hospice care, palliative medicine, and
internal medicine in Orlando.
