“Questions, concerns, queries?” Lets chat!POP QUIZ TIME!!!Matt McFarland is about to teach a course on turf at Humber College and decided that his students' first assignment could be incorporated into this week's episode of The Growing Season. The McFarland's dive into some wonderful, and unknown, facts regarding that green carpet that covers your lawn. Jack kicks off the show with a "new age" discussion that sends the start off on a tangent. What is "No Mow May?"  Its a popular idea and the TGS trio dive into it. The pros and cons of this little event are highlighted. When is the proper time to start cutting your lawn?  The ins and outs of fertilizer become a topic of focus.  What do the various numbers mean?Slow release is only for nitrogen.  WHAT!?Photosynthesis...ROIGHT!  Gypsum is an industry secret that is revealed to y'all.A pH reset! What is an aerator?  What is a dethatcher?Grass takes in carbon and expels oxygen.  Its a pretty beneficial plant. Everything plus the carbon sink is highlighted. Comparisons and contrasts between artificial turf and natural turf come into focus.Can we eliminate the use of fertilizer altogether?What are the wildflowers that grow in your lawn that are the first foods for our pollinators? Matt RANTS.  Nematodes to the rescue...Tune in.

Spring is here, which means it's the perfect opportunity to start cultivating your vegetable gardens. Teresa Watkins, host of Better Lawns and Gardens, shares advice about planting warm-season vegetables and tips for avoiding common pest problems. Teresa's Top Five Heirloom Tomatoes you may have never heard of.

In this Episode we chat about upcoming events and shows, plants we are starting to sow now, and some items from the news.Show and Open daysPotato Day and Green Fair, Border Events Centre, KelsoAlpine Society Spring Show, Humphrey Perkins School, Barrow upon Soar, Loughborough.

They have upgraded their tree production line to be completely robotic. Peter went to Corner Corner Restaurant and saw London's biggest commercial indoor vertical farm growing salad and herbs.Matthew Biggs designed Hospital Garden in Hertfordshire is still growing and The Apple House at Serge Hill recently held a conference on how Outdoor space and gardens can transform patients outlooks and the benefits it brings to their well being.What we are plantingWe discuss Tomatoes grown in Hozelocks GroBag Waterer the benefits of Marigolds grown close by, David has had success with Sungold, and Dwarf Marigolds. Peter has grown Beefsteak Tomatoes. David then tells us about his Potato growing method and how it improves the soil structure, as it's now about time to start thinking about First Early Potatoes. David is not a fan of Chicken Manure Pellets or Q4 Fertilizer, he relies on the compost but many of us do use fertilizer and we all agree on the benefits of earthing up.Finally we discuss treating your lawns with Chafer grub Nematodes as it's that time of year and once treated the nematodes will last a year or two. Peter scarifies, reseeds and feeds his lawn and after all the rain recently Moss has grown well so Peter is treating his with Evergreen Complete a feed, weed and moss treatment.

Dry farming is more than just skipping irrigation—it's a deliberate practice that starts with soil stewardship. Lauryn Leeds Pesch of Chavez & Leeds Family Vineyards and Leeds & Pesch Vineyard Consulting shares her deep-rooted knowledge in dry farming, a technique that relies solely on stored winter and spring rainfall to meet a vine's needs. Learn about a $2M research initiative with the Department of Water Resources exploring water conservation in coastal California vineyards, the 5-step cultivation process, and how a new mapping tool can help you find and learn from neighboring dry-farmed vineyards.   Resources:   151: The Role of the Soil Microbiome in Soil Health   153: The Role of Nematodes in Soil Health   171: How to Farm Wine Grapes for Climate Change 177: The Role of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi with Paul Schreiner   181: Can Applying Compost Reduce Water Use?  California Ag Water Stewardship Initiative California Ag Water Stewardship Initiative Dry Farming Dry Farming in Coastal California Vineyards Project Lauren Leeds Pesch Instagram @calidryfarming   Lauren Leeds Pesch LinkedIn Vineyard Team Programs:  Juan Nevarez Memorial Scholarship - Donate Online Courses – DPR & CCA Hours SIP Certified – Show your care for the people and planet   Sustainable Ag Expo – The premiere winegrowing event of the year – Discount Code PODCAST25 Vineyard Team – Become a Member  

Terrie Porras, ND continues her discussion on parasites in Part 2, focussing on Nematodes and Hookworms. American medicine ignores the impact of parasites on health, yet they have been established to be one of the central causes of the majority of health issues. Remediation for parasites includes both physical cleaning and prevention as well as internal parasite cleanses. Parasites are a persistent threat in our world, therefore prevention and cleansing must become part of a lifestyle.

The humble potato: is it a vegetable or a grain? Coming from a family that has farmed America's favorite vegetable (yes, we'll refer to the potato as such), Mitchell Searle offers a unique perspective on the cultivation, harvesting, and sustainability of this crop.   While Searle expresses concern about what he perceives as the growing chasm between the farm and the consumer, he emphasizes that many of the misconceptions surrounding potato farming are largely unfounded.  “Sustainability is my number one focus every day,” says Searle. “Is my workload sustainable? Are my tillage practices sustainable? Is my business structure sustainable to be passed on to the next generation? Everything boils down to sustainability. His family has farmed for over 100 years, so they should know.  Listen in as Searle discusses biological vs. chemical practices, how interest groups shape policy, and his very down-to-earth potato consumption preferences.

Send us a textWelcome to another episode of The Cutflower Podcast! I'm your host, Roz Chandler, and today we're diving deep into all things garden pests. I'm joined by the brilliant Tessa from Ladybird Plant Care, who's here to share some amazing tips on how to manage pests organically. From slugs to aphids, we're covering it all, so if you've had any garden woes this year, you won't want to miss this episode!Episode Summary:In this episode, Tessa from Ladybird Plant Care walks us through the challenges and solutions for common garden pests, with a particular focus on organic methods. We chat about the importance of tackling pests like slugs and aphids at the right time of year, and why natural biological control is becoming more popular. Tessa also shares why using nematodes in the autumn is key to reducing slug problems in the spring, and we explore the fascinating world of parasitic wasps for aphid control. If you've ever wondered how to keep pests at bay without resorting to harmful chemicals, this episode is packed with practical advice to help your garden thrive.Key Takeaways:Slug Control with Nematodes: Now is the perfect time to apply nematodes to prevent next year's slug infestation. Tessa explains why autumn treatments are essential.Organic Pest Management: Biological control methods like using parasitic wasps for aphids are natural, effective, and environmentally friendly.Patience is Key: With biological controls, it's important to be patient and allow nature to take its course. These solutions take time but yield great results.Deep Cleaning for Pest Prevention: Clean your greenhouses and tools thoroughly at the end of the season to remove overwintering pests and prevent future infestations.Think Like a Bug: When preparing your garden for winter, consider where pests might hide, like under pots or in cracks, and take steps to eliminate their cosy spots.Action Step:Take a good look at your garden as we head into the colder months. Apply nematodes now to reduce slug populations, and give your greenhouse a deep clean to avoid overwintering pests. If you've had pest issues this year, start planning your biological controls for next year!Here are Tessa's contact details for any questions or pest identification help:You can reach her via email at plantcare@ladybirdplantcare.co.uk Visit Https://audioandco.com for all your audiobook, video and podcast needs. https://fieldgateflowers.kartra.com/page/newsletters Flower Farmers Retreat 2024 (21 &22 September): https://fieldgateflowers.kartra.com/page/businessretreat2024 2024 Farm Day at Field Gate Farm (10 August): https://fieldgateflowers.kartra.com/page/farmvisit A Cut Above Waitlist: https://fieldgateflowers.kartra.com/page/ACutAboveWaitlist The Growth Club: https://fieldgateflowers.kartra.com/page/thegrowthclub Lots of free resources on our website: https://thecutflowercollective.co.uk/cut-flower-resources/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fieldgateflowers Facebook Group 'Cut Flower Farming - Growth and Profit in your business' https://www.facebook.com/groups/449543639411874 Facebook Group 'The Cut Flower Collection' https://www.facebook.com/groups/cutflowercollection

Imagine a world where giant, bus-sized nematodes roam the streets, carrying diseases from city to city! In this mind-bending episode, we explore the consequences of scaling up microscopic worms to Dune-like proportions. How would humanity adapt to these massive, translucent creatures? We dive into the science of nematodes, discuss potential worm-washing stations, and even contemplate the philosophy of these 302-neuron behemoths.

In the latest episode of the Veg Grower Podcast, host Richard delves into a variety of gardening topics, sharing his personal experiences and experiments from his allotment and vegetable garden. This episode is packed with valuable insights on soil health, mulching techniques, pest control, and even includes a delicious recipe segment and a book review. Let's break down each topic in detail to provide actionable advice and thorough explanations for fellow gardening enthusiasts. Soil Health Experiment: The Underwear Test Understanding Soil Health Richard's innovative soil health experiment involved burying a pair of cotton underwear in his garden beds. This method, while unconventional, is a practical way to gauge the biological activity in the soil. After a few weeks, he unearthed the underwear to find that approximately 75% of it had decomposed. This significant level of decomposition indicates a healthy soil ecosystem rich in microorganisms and organic matter. Key Takeaways: Microbial Activity: The decomposition of the underwear suggests a high level of microbial activity, which is crucial for breaking down organic matter and releasing nutrients into the soil. Organic Gardening Practices: Richard attributes the positive results to years of adding compost and avoiding pesticides and chemicals, which support a thriving soil ecosystem. Actionable Advice: Conduct Your Own Test: Try burying a piece of cotton fabric in your garden to assess soil health. Check it after a few weeks to see the level of decomposition. Enhance Soil Health: Regularly add organic matter such as compost, leaf mould, and well-rotted manure to your soil. Avoid using chemical fertilizers and pesticides that can harm beneficial microorganisms. Mulching Techniques: Pros and Cons Exploring Different Mulch Types Richard experimented with various mulching techniques throughout the growing season, each with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. 1. Straw Mulch Pros: Excellent for retaining moisture and suppressing weeds. Cons: Increased slug and snail activity, especially in wet weather. 2. Grass Clippings Pros: Free resource from mowing the lawn, helps retain moisture. Cons: Not as effective as straw for weed suppression, may require additional watering. 3. Homemade Compost Pros: Reduces watering needs, provides nutrients to plants. Cons: Contains weed seeds, leading to some weed growth. 4. Heart of Eden Mulch Pros: Significantly reduces watering needs. Cons: Less effective in weed suppression, with bindweed and brambles still growing through. 5. Rocket Grow Mulch Pros: Most effective for weed suppression, helps retain moisture. Cons: None mentioned, highly appreciated for its performance. Key Takeaways: Straw: Best for water retention. Rocket Grow Mulch: Best for weed suppression. Actionable Advice: Choose the Right Mulch: Select mulch based on your specific garden needs. For moisture retention, straw is ideal, while for weed suppression, Rocket Grow mulch is highly effective. Monitor and Adjust: Keep an eye on how different mulches perform in your garden and be ready to adjust your approach based on weather conditions and pest activity. Nematodes for Pest Control: A Natural Solution Battling Compost Flies Richard faced a nuisance with compost flies in his kitchen and turned to nematodes as a natural pest control method. Nematodes are microscopic worms that can target and control pest populations effectively. Key Takeaways: Effectiveness: Richard reported a significant reduction in both compost flies and larvae after applying nematodes. Sustainability: Using nematodes aligns with sustainable gardening practices by reducing the need for chemical pesticides. Actionable Advice: Apply Nematodes: Purchase nematodes specific to the pests you're dealing with and follow the application instructions carefully.

This week on AgweekTV, a look at vice presidential candidate Tim Walz's farm policy. We take you to the grand opening of North Dakota's second dedicated soybean crush plant. We'll have important information for soybean growers about soybean cyst nematodes. And we'll take you to central South Dakota for a look at this year's sunflower crop.

In this encore presentation of Down the Garden Path, landscape designers Joanne Shaw and Matthew Dressing discuss applying nematodes, the primary method homeowners in Canada use to control pests such as grubs on our lawns. It's been a heavy Japanese beetle season in the Greater Toronto Area, with a lot of damage done to the foliage of our trees and shrubs. As the hot days of summer come to an end, so will they! However, where there are Japanese beetles, there are white grubs. And right now, those white grubs are beginning to hatch and eat our lawns, growing and becoming next summer's Japanese beetles. So, what can we do? This is where applying nematodes comes in. Nematodes are microscopic, colourless worms that travel through water in the ground to attack and kill grubs and other pests. If you want them to work, you have to water your lawn well. They don't bother humans, pets, or plants but will attack various soil-borne pests instead. When nematodes find a host they want to eat, they work their way inside them, consuming their host using powerful bacteria. A single nematode can kill a pest in 24-48 hours, making them a quick and efficient solution to infestations. We discuss what nematodes are, how they work and the best practices for applying them. If you've been seeing the effects of Japanese beetles in your garden this summer, you won't want to miss this podcast. We offer lots of great tips to help your garden and lawn thrive into the fall and prepare it for success in the spring.

This week, Aebhric O'Kelly talks with Jason Jarvis about the operational importance of helminths. Takeaways Tropical medicine focuses on helping people in tropical areas with high rates of parasitic worms and tropical diseases. Parasitic worms are classified into species, including Annelida, Nematodes, and Platyhelminths. Worm infestations are more common in developing countries and rural areas. Diagnosing and treating worm infestations are crucial, especially in remote and austere environments. Various worms, such as pinworms, filariasis, schistosomiasis, and tapeworms, can cause significant health problems. Prevention measures, such as avoiding contaminated food and water, are essential in reducing the risk of worm infestations. Ask patients about their travel history and potential exposure to parasitic worms Different species of trematodes have other risk factors and manifestations Diseases and non-battle injuries (DNBI) can have a significant impact in military settings Climate change is contributing to the spread of tropical diseases in new areas   Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Background 02:24 Classification of Parasitic Worms 07:53 Prevalence of Worm Infections 24:39 Prevention and Conclusion 34:50 The Importance of Travel History 37:23 The Role of Recent Travel in Diagnosis 45:57 Diseases and Non-Battle Injuries (DNBI) in Military Settings 49:38 Climate Change and the Spread of Tropical Diseases   Sound Bites "I enjoy having a microscope and little friends to look at." "Approximately four billion people in the world are infected with one type of helminth or another." "Many of these roundworms and helminths cause problems we'll see as medics." "We've got five species of trematodes, five different species of schistosomes that are clinically important to us in human medicine." "When doing a clinical workup, it's important that we ask our patients where they have been?" "The sample is great and universal, but that R is vastly important for recent travel."

Send us a Text Message.If you've been following our Instagram this week, you might have noticed our battle with aphids. So, I thought it would be helpful to share some more details of biological control in gardening.Biological control involves the use of natural enemies to tackle garden pests. From introducing predators to employing pathogenic nematodes, we explore how these methods offer effective and eco-friendly pest management solutions.Key Takeaways:Benefits of Biological Control: Unlike chemical pesticides, biological controls leave no residues and cause no harm to plants. Once established, natural enemies can multiply and reduce pest populations to acceptable levels.Understanding Predators:Predatory and parasitoid biological controls, though not providing instant results, offer long-term solutions. Timing is crucial, as introducing them before heavy infestation ensures effectiveness.Seasonal Considerations: Glasshouse predators and parasites thrive in warm conditions, with ideal breeding temperatures between late March and September. Reintroduction may be necessary annually.Compatibility with Pesticides: Predators and parasites are sensitive to pesticides, necessitating their avoidance for several weeks before introducing biological controls. Fatty acid-based pesticides can be used with caution closer to introduction.Common Garden Pests and Solutions: Aphids, thrips, vine weevils, slugs, and red spider mites are prevalent nuisances. We explore natural remedies such as ladybirds, lacewings, predatory mites, and nematodes to combat these pests effectively.Practical Tips: Daily monitoring, manual removal of infested leaves, and encouraging natural predators like birds contribute to pest management efforts.To explore further, visit Ladybird Plant Care - www.ladybirdplantcare.co.uk, where Tessa can assist you in selecting the right biological controls for your garden.Embrace sustainable gardening practices with biological control methods, ensuring a thriving garden ecosystem without harmful chemicals.

At-Home Early Cancer Detection Test Hits the Market Chan Namgong, founder of Oncotect, joins host Laura Reeves for a very personal discussion of the value of early cancer detection for our dogs. Namgong launched his company in 2019 in the aftermath of his mother's cancer diagnosis. He already knew that dogs can detect human cancer by scent. But then he learned about a group of scientists that discovered that small nematodes can detect cancerous metabolites in urine in human medicine. “What's amazing about these small nematodes is that they have very high sense of smell,” Namgong said. “They have more olfactory receptors than dogs, despite their small size. So what we have done is we've developed a platform where we are using (nematodes) to detect cancerous metabolites in dogs' urine that contains the cancerous metabolites. “(Nematodes) are small worms, and the scientific name of them is C. elegans. And C. elegans is actually, you know, if you are a scientist or biologist, it's a model organism. It's widely used in different disciplines of science. In pharmacology, chemistry, biology, you know, cancer cells, stem cell research, environmental study, because we know everything about these worms. In fact, C. elegans was the very first multi-cell organism that was ever DNA sequenced. And the way we utilize them is we can actually measure the intensity of the olfactory neuron in their head. “We can categorize pets as low, moderate or high risk of cancer. Oncotect is a screening test, not a diagnostic test. So, this is meant to be proactive and preventive measure. And then if there's any risk, moderate or high risk, we'll bring you back to your veterinarian for further consultation, diagnostic tests such as x -rays or ultrasound to really confirm or deny a cancer suspicion or to identify the type and location. “Prevention of cancer is almost impossible because we don't know what's really truly causing cancer. But your best strategy is find it early and treat it quickly. Diagnosing a cancer is like a putting a puzzle together. You've got to bring different pieces of information to really look at a big picture. “We have primarily focused on the four most common treatable canine cancers. They are lymphoma, melanoma, hemangiosarcoma and mast cell tumors. And the reason why we focus on those four is because just due to the limited resources that we have. “We've tested over 700 dogs in the last year or so. And among those 700 dogs, we have detected TCC, bladder, prostate, liver, soft tissue. So we've detected other cancer types, but the reason why we are not making claims for them is because we haven't run a large enough sample size to publish any scientific paper on them, which we plan to do this year.”

An independent review has told Natural England it needs to completely change the way it engages with farmers on Dartmoor. It also says more cattle are needed for "conservation grazing" to help tackle the spread of purple moor grass and sheep farmers have been warned they'll need to demonstrate they can control their flocks and not let them overgraze areas of heather and dwarf shrubs. A Scottish nature reserve is training members of the local community to stalk deer at Creag Meagaidh in the Highlands. NatureScot says community models of deer management are common in many European countries, but this is the first time it has been tried on publicly owned land in Scotland.Applications are now open for a new £4 million Smaller Abattoir Fund. The fund is to enable abattoirs in England to improve productivity, enhance animal health and welfare, and will allow farmers to add value to their meat and encourage innovation. Abattoirs will be able to apply for funding of up to £60,000. The Rare Breeds Survival Trust welcomed that announcement - they said the network of of small abattoirs had been in sustained serious decline, and the fund offered a lifeline. All this week we've been looking at the future for rare breeds, among them North Ronaldsay sheep from the Orkney Islands and the endangered Welsh Pig.The forestry industry is using drones to drop microscopic worms or nematodes onto trees, to control pests. Foresters say it helps them reach areas that machinery can't.A virtual world is being used to get children interested in conservation. The Crown Estate has teamed up with Microsoft to create a version of the very popular world-building game Minecraft, based on Windsor Great Park. Presenter = Charlotte Smith Producer = Rebecca Rooney

Next year could see drones being used for the first time to drop microscopic worms on trees, to protect them from harmful insects. The worms, or nematodes, are natural predators of damaging insects and the forest industry is developing ways of controlling pests as pesticides it currently relies on are phased out.Another outbreak of Bluetongue has been recorded in Norfolk making a total of 11 cases in England. Stock on six different premises, in Kent and Norfolk have been affected. There are restrictions on moving animals in the protection zones and farmers say its difficult to find abattoirs to process their animals within those zones. We speak to a beef farmer who remembers a big outbreak which affected farms across Europe in 2007.All week we're looking at rare breeds. The North Ronaldsay are one of the UK's oldest and rarest breeds of sheep. They're shaggy and small and can often be found grazing on seaweed along the coast of the northernmost of the Orkney Islands, which they're named after. But more recently farmers on the UK mainland have taken to keeping the breed which is listed as a priority by the Rare Breeds Survival Trust.Presenter = Anna Hill Producer =Rebecca Rooney

Today we take a look at two extremes of vexing garden problems around the world: the tiny, tiny nematodes that attach to plant roots, sucking the life out of them…and one you don't need a microscope to see: deer. They both love your garden. At least with nematodes there are a few resistant plants. But when it comes to deer resistant plants, well, good luck. It depends how hungry those deer are. So how do you control root know nematodes, and marauding deer?

  Christine Sprunger is a soil scientist and head of the Soil Health and Ecosystem Ecology Lab at Michigan State University. With a deep-rooted passion for soil science, Christine's research doesn't shy away from the complexity of soil health and what it means for both the researcher and the farmer. Soil health is a laborious concept that requires a deep understanding of the ecosystem's overall functioning. To accurately assess soil health, it's crucial to identify relevant indicators that connect ecological processes with the practical management decisions farmers make. Some of Christine's research has revolved around nematodes. Nematodes, as microscopic worm-like organisms, play a critical role in soil ecosystems by feeding on bacteria, fungi, plant roots, and each other! These diverse feeding groups can serve as vital soil health indicators, allowing researchers and farmers to measure the ecological functioning and productivity of their agroecosystems. In addition to nematodes, she has researched the perenniality of roots, especially deep-rooted perennial legumes, and how they can be a crucial component of soil health as they contribute significantly to not only soil carbon sequestration processes, but also nitrogen storage capacity. Ultimately, soil health should be measured from various angles, prioritizing individual management goals and local contexts. Christine highlights the necessity of choosing suitable soil health indicators to link the scientific understanding of ecological function and practical farming approaches. She emphasizes that effective communication between researchers and farmers plays a vital role in selecting appropriate soil health indicators. By continuously collaborating and integrating farmers' concerns, researchers can ensure that these indicators address the desired outcomes and cater to farmers' specific needs.

What a sad state of affairs.  Some families don't want to buy eggs at sky-high prices… so they're painting potatoes for Easter.  At the national potato marketing organization… they usually post about potato retail sales… and offer spellbinding podcasts like this  Well.  These Nematode researchers at Potoes USA  saw people painting potatoes on Tik Tok . and they were like whuh. And they immediately jumped on board.  Yeah… they say … it's fun.  It's family bonding.  It's nematode free.  In case you're wondering… those are tiny roundworms that can attack potatoes.So… as a money-saving service… let me give you the basics.  First and most important… If you're going to paint a potato…  You don't want to paint on dirt… PEEL THE POTATO … soak it in water with 2 tablespoons of distilled white vinegar for half an hour.  Dry it off… grab a brush and turn a potato into a Picasso. You can also dye potatoes…  Don't bother to peel them.  Just drop them in the dye like normal easter eggs.  Or … you can squirt a drop of food coloring on the potato … and use a paintbrush to swish it around.  Add another drop and keep going.   If you're not into arts and crafts… the price of plastic eggs never went up.  You can get a 48-count of plastic easter eggs for 3 bucks. And no. Nematodes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Pioneer Agronomy - Refocusing on Soybean Cyst Nematode Management: https://www.pioneer.com/us/agronomy/Refocusing-on-Soybean-Cyst-Nematode-Management.html

Brian visits the Crop Doctors' Podcast Studio in Stoneville to talk cotton.  Acreage forecasts have dipped due to recent price reduction.  Following a discussion on acreage guesses for 2023, Brian, Jason, and Tom discuss the commercialization of the ThryvOn trait and how it should be utilized.  The discussion wraps up with nematode management. 

Nematodes, also known as roundworms, are the most abundant animals on earth but are largely misunderstood. In gardening and agriculture, several nematode species are known for being pests, but it's important to recognize that many other nematode species are beneficial, providing biological control of insect pests. To explain how lab-produced pheromones can be used to repel pest nematodes and stimulate beneficial nematodes, my guest this week is Dr. Fatma Kaplan, the CEO and founder of Pheronym.

Parasites: they're seen as blood suckers, freeloaders and the worst kind of groupies, writes parasitologist Scott Gardner. And though they can be dangerous, they're also "unseen influencers," essential to food webs and in some cases even beneficial to human health. We learn about the surprising world of parasites with Gardner, whose new book is “Parasites: The Inside Story.” Guests: Scott Gardner, professor of biological sciences and Curator of Parasites, H.W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology, University of Nebraska; author, "Parasites: The Inside Story" Henry M. Wu, associate professor of medicine and infectious diseases specialist, Emory University School of Medicine; director, the Emory TravelWell Center

Many people are becoming selective about what gets injected into their bodies, but don't think twice about having their animals vaccinated.
