Experimental infection of the nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) with Schistosoma mansoni (Kenyan strain).

Eleven wild-caught nine-banded armadillos were infected with cercariae of the Kenyan strain of Schistosoma mansoni for 1-25 weeks. Distribution of eggs along and within the gut and liver was similar to that seen in human schistosomiasis. However, egg excretion was poor, eggs were small, rate of infection was low, and the prepatent period was long. From these data it is concluded that Dasypus novemcinctus is an inefficient reservoir host of S. mansoni.

The pathology curriculum in US medical schools. 1986 survey by the Association of Pathology Chairmen.

Responses to questionnaires on teaching pathology to medical students from 71.6% of US medical schools indicate the following: (1) average class size continues to decrease; (2) in very few schools is instruction entirely interdisciplinary; (3) use of small-group teaching has increased slightly since 1982; (4) average curriculum time remains 250 hours per year; (5) clinical pathology instruction is frequently integrated with systemic pathology (mean time allocation, 40 hours per year); (6) lecture and study of gross and microscopic specimens remain mainstays of instruction; (7) honors/pass/fail grading systems are used by 54.7% of respondents (none use class rank); (8) multiple-choice examinations are a major method of evaluation; (9) graduates seeking post-medical degree training in pathology range from 0% to 6% of each class (mean, 2.13%); and (10) problems most often encountered are that there are too many students per class, and that students are unprepared for pathology.
