Application is made for a conference (R-13) grant to hold a symposium and workshop on the opportunistic parasite Pneumocystis carinii at Bristol University, Bristol, England concurrently with the 41st Annual Meeting of The Society of Protozoologists.
The aim i s to mix basic scientists working on the immunology, protein chemistry and molecular biology of this organism with pharmacologists and physicians interested in its chemotherapy. A special feature will be a round-table discussion with eminent scientists familiar with other areas of protozoal and parasitic culture with the aim of improving the present unsatisfactory culture methods.
