Parasitic worms infecting cows, sheep, goats and horses are becoming resistant to the drugs used to kill them, and if changes are not made in how the few remaining drugs that still work are used, there may be no way left to fight the growing threat, according to Ray Kaplan, a University of Georgia professor in the department of infectious diseases.

				<title>UGA study sheds light on aphid vs. wasp evolution</title>
				<link>http://news.uga.edu/releases/article/uga&#45;study&#45;sheds&#45;light&#45;on&#45;aphid&#45;vs&#45;wasp&#45;evolution</link>
				<description>
				<![CDATA[
					Nature is a system of checks and balances, as is the case between aphids and wasps. Aphids feed on plants; wasps lay eggs inside aphids, killing them and increasing plant production. Some aphids harbor bacterial symbionts, or smaller organisms that live in close association with a host, that provide protection by killing the internally developing wasps. Wasps are able to decipher which aphids are infected and use superparasitism to override the poison.
