[edit] Issues outstanding

The WHO www recommends two indices for the quantification of infection: the bacteriological index (BI: a measure of bacterial load) and the morphological index (MI: a measure of bacterial viability).

[edit] Help needed

Our distinguished colleague Theresa Knott (theresa knott) has recently misled readers in at least four major medical articles (Mycobacterium leprae, alternative medicine, sodium hypochlorite, and iridology). We need competent editors to check all her medical "contributions" in order to avoid the mess and possible death that may arise as a consequence of maintaining her constant pattern of disinformation. Her editing is a health hazard ! Sincerely, irismeister 15:32, 2004 Feb 7 (UTC)

[edit] Animal Rights?

Is that "Animal Rights" link for studying M. leprae in the armadillo really necessary? I don't think the "Animal Rights" article contains anything on Armadillos and TB or leprosy. I'm just going to delete that link. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.176.209.231 (talk) 00:01, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
